If true this is indeed unfortunate.  I got my start in electronics building
these kits, when I was a kid it was well known in the neighborhood that I
would put Heath kits together for free.  You can learn an awful lot by trying
to figure out why that color TV doesn't work, let alone calibrating the thing.
I think I put together 1 short wave radio, 2 color TVs, a stereo and amp,
and a weather station.  Only the radio was mine.  This culminated in my
building an expansion interface for my first computer (TRS-80) when I was 21.
Alas, I don't seem to put these things together any more due to lack of time.
