Does anyone have operating instructions for a Heathkit IT-2232
"Component Tracer"? I just picked one up at a swap meet but there was no
manual. Here's a picture of the unit:

Bob, you can always try the Yahoo! user group for
Heathkits. Very active group, and they've been helpful
in the past.

I appreciate the link. Unfortunately, they want about $25 (w/tax +
shipping) for a COPY. I might pay that for an original, but I think
that's excessive for a copy of unknown quality. BTW, this is the guy
that bought the rights to the Heathkit name and is reselling their manuals.

This guy seems to be behind the disappearance of most free Heath
manuals from the web. E.g. Bama has only an empty directory left for
Heath manuals.
Manuals from before 1964 might not be hit, however, if Heath did not
renew copyrights for them.

As to copy or original: I wouldn't mind, because all I'd need was the
information in it.
As to price: You might try to sell it on eBay, after having copied it.

Regards,
H.

IMO user manuals and service manuals should be free.

The manual & schematic links don't work, but the catalog ad is helpful
enough where I can probably figure out how to operate it.

-Thanks

The Huntron Tracker instructions should give you a great idea on how to use
it and how different components good or bad should look.

Ok, I just stumbled across this article in Electronic Design:
http://electronicdesign.com/Articles/Index.cfm?AD=1&ArticleID=20689&bypass=1

And I quote (from page 2):
" So despite the fact that almost everyone thought Heathkit died,
it still exists and is still doing well. Check out its Web site
at www.heathkit.com. The company’s new address is 2024 Hawthorne
Avenue, St. Joseph, Mich. 49085. Call 269-925-6000 or 800-253-0570.
Many of the original Heathkit employees are still with the company,
and that “we won’t let you fail” attitude still prevails."

Interestingly enough, this conflicts with what the guy at d8apro
has to say about things. http://www.d8apro.com/

"Data Professionals of Pleasanton California has purchased the
Copyrights and existing inventory of all legacy Heathkit product
documentation from Heath Company of Benton Harbor Michigan for
an undisclosed amount. The new company will make copies of the
original legacy manuals available to the marketplace via its web
site and through eBay and PayPal."

So, which is correct?

As per your suggestion, I was able to get all the info I needed on the
Heathkit Tracer from someone on the Yahoo Heathkit Group. Thanks!

Thanks - I appreciate the link; some of the info there is indeed also
applicable to the Heathkit Tracer.

That's Heathkit Educational Systems (HES). They sell the educational
and training kits only.

Interestingly enough, this conflicts with what the guy at d8apro
has to say about things. http://www.d8apro.com/

They sell Heathkit manuals, parts, pieces, and service. Not that
there are no educational kits listed.

So, which is correct?

Both. There's no overlap unless you want a manual on one of the old
educational kits.

It appears that HES owns all the Heathkit trademarks. Digging through
the US Patent and Trademark mess for "heathkit":
<http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=toc&state=4006%3Aghd4rb.1.1&p_search=searchss&p_L=50&BackReference=&p_plural=yes&p_s_PARA1=&p_tagrepl~%3A=PARA1%24LD&expr=PARA1+AND+PARA2&p_s_PARA2=heathkit&p_tagrepl~%3A=PARA2%24COMB&p_op_ALL=AND&a_default=search&a_search=Submit+Query&a_search=Submit+Query>
Looks like documents and manuals part of the trademark also belong to
HES, not d8apro, which might cause some problems:

According to the contract drawn up between both parties, "Data
Professionals" (aka Don Peterson) now holds all rights to the Heathkit
company's "Legacy Manual Duplication and Distribution" business:
