Two Heathkit Grid Dip Meters with a set of tuning coils. The dip meter can be used either to measure the relative power lost to a nearby circuit (in which case the amplitude shown on the meter "dips") or to measure the relative power absorbed from a nearby powered circuit (in which case, the meter amplitude peaks). In either mode of operation ...

Some electronic kits were assembled to make complete complex devices such as color television sets, oscilloscopes, high-end audio amplifiers, amateur radio equipment, electric organs, [2] and even computers such as the Heathkit H-8, and the LNW-80. Many of the early microprocessor computers were sold as either electronic kits or assembled and ...
Heathkit began a program to develop their own kit that would be much superior to the Altair, [2] which was known to have poor reliability due to a number of design decisions. [ a ] The concept of building a computer remained a heated issue in the company, but started moving forward after one engineer stated "All right, we'll build a computer.
Zenith Data Systems Corporation (ZDS) was an American computer systems manufacturing company active from 1979 to 1996.It was originally a division of the Zenith Radio Company (later Zenith Electronics), after they had purchased the Heath Company and, by extension, their Heathkit line of electronic kits and kit microcomputers, from Schlumberger in October 1979.
A dual-beam oscilloscope was a type of oscilloscope once used to compare one signal with another. There were two beams produced in a special type of CRT . Unlike an ordinary "dual-trace" oscilloscope (which time-shared a single electron beam, thus losing about 50% of each signal), a dual-beam oscilloscope simultaneously produced two separate ...
