A friend shared the gaming computer he built for his kid. This reminded me of my Dad’s devotion the building Heathkit computers from com kits and components he bought from their catalog. Which leads me to my first love: the Heathkit Hero 1 robot. I campaigned for months when I was 12 for getting one of these. Alas after months my interest turned elsewhere and I never owned a Hero. #heathkit #heathkitcatalog #computerkit #robotkit #hero1robot
J'essaie à nouveau de regarder la carte du moniteur de mon terminal #Heathkit H19. Je n'ai pas de vidéo car il n'y a pas de THT.
J'ai démonté la carte et testé sans le transfo THT, ça m'a l'air bon. Avec le transfo j'arrive péniblement à 500V là où je devrais trouver 15000V, pas étonnant que l'écran reste tout noir !
Au passage j'ai sorti le voltmètre Heathkit à lampes avec son imposante sonde de mesure haute tension (et c'est très bien comme ça, pas envie de m'approcher de trop près des 15KV !)

@JamesRandolph Took a picture of my first Heathkit, an AM Portable Transistor Radio too. Probably still have the Manual, but I'm not going on an archaeology dig to get it for a photo
It used REAL batteries too. Multiple C or D cells, don't remember which for sure, just that they lasted a loooong time
Picture I took awhile back of my Heathkit Desktop Calculator built as a teen, mid 1970's
Component soldering, wire hookup, CPU socket, plastic case threaded inserts melted in place... just follow the detailed instructions.

not a new gameplay post, but I do have a quick update, a request for help with Heathkit (anyone?) and three recent new games

Here's another #VintageComputing / #RetroComputing system that followed me home today. A #Heathkit H89 with external floppy drives.
