1970s Heathkit TV
Hi, as some of you may know, I'm looking for a 1970s TV. I found this set (See Attached) on eBay, and I was wondering if anyone could give me some information on it, such as is it colour or b/w? Are they simple sets to work on or complex?
The TV is a Heathkit GR9900 Thanks |

Re: 1970s Heathkit TV
I don't know as I have not had experience of that set. A good knowledge of basic TV servicing and safety precautions in view of the high voltages involved would obviously
be necessary. |

Re: 1970s Heathkit TV
A kit set would theoretically be easy to work on, but ymmv.

Re: 1970s Heathkit TV
Thank you for your replies.
I'll keep it in the "Maybe" pile and keep on looking, to see if there are any better sets going. Thanks |
