Zenith bought Heath and Heathkit several years ago.  (The stores
were a seperate corporation from the mail order, that's why you
didn't have to pay sales tax on the mail order kits).  Bull recently
bought some or all (not clear) of the operation.  Apparently as
a result of this, the connection between the computer stores and
the kits has been severed.

As of the catalog last fall, the only place to get a Heathkit is
mail order.
