"I built it myself." (Heathkits)(Electronics Newsfront)

The building of Heathkits was popular for decades, starting with Ed Heath's founding of the company in 1926 through much of the 1980s. The kits ranged from radios to an electronic robot. But interest in the kits has waned, and the company has turned to supplying home security and automation products.
