Heathkit TVs.

I built the SS kit in 75. Not an full RCA clone except for SCR horizontal sweep, and it used an RCA CRT. The IF used a potted ladder type filter that was pre-aligned and could not be adjusted if you wanted to. All the small signal circuit cards needed to be built by the hobbyist, including the remote control receiver. Already in '75 it was not a bargain compared to a factory set, but it was worth it for the experience. It was interesting to see what the convergence looked like when you first fired it up. It was so far out, that you couldn't tell which dots to converge with which. I then tuned it to Bozo's circus on WGN and adjusted the static convergence for one Bozo.
