This Web page last updated Aug 30 2011. This page lists my various Heath and Zenith manuals
and magazines. On another Web page, I have Heath and Zenith computers,
or Heath test equipment.
Ordering information and how to email @ me can be found in this notice.
We have originals manuals and disks for sale for Z-100 and other Heath/Zenith computers. We may provide copies of manuals but not copies of some software, ask. Prices will vary with supply and interest, ask for more info on specific packages. Page counts are approximate, weights for shipping purposes. "Half-sized" means manuals are 8.5 inch by 5 inch, otherwise manuals and binders are for 8.5 by 11-inch pages. Manuals and disks are believed to be complete and in good condition but are sold AS IS. Copies are generally priced by the page and are made on commercial quality photocopiers. I have had few complaints to date on previous sales, but know what you are buying and ask me if you wish me to check disks for version numbers.

These are manuals for Zenith computers after the Z-110 and Z-120 "Z-100" or S-100 based systems. These are much like the IBM PC systems built in the same era. As of 2011, there's zero demand for these systems or their docs in the 21st century and they are likely to be discarded if not of "collectable" value (like early Windows disks for instance). Contact me if you have any interest at all, as soon as possible. zyzzy
These are Zenith's early PC compatible systems. They are IBM-PC like, not S-100 and not within my interests. In the 21st century, there appears to be very little "vintage" interest in them, they don't seem to sell for very much, tens of dollars. I only have a few manuals, the manuals are for sale as listed below.

I'm very fond of these systems, I used these some years ago and worked with a developer and manufacturer of H89 cards. I have a few of these systems, but haven't had time in the past to do much with them.

Thanks to the generousity of a Boston area H-8 owner, I acquired an H-8 in 2005. Follow this link for details, and manuals I may have available.
Most of these Heathkit manuals are in good condition, ask for specifics. We'll price
these at $10 each plus shipping; I may negotiate lower for smaller manuals. I'll consider making copies of
these manuals but the copies will still be several dollars each depending on page count.
Note: I may have additional manuals with some instruments, check my
odds and ends page for details.
Many of these manuals and the magazines above
were provided in memory of Col. Robert D. Williams, USAF, by
his wife. Col. Williams built and used many of these Heathkit items. His wife told me
"..if some of these manuals get passed on, people will know that
once there were people who could actually do things with their hands". After years of
working on Heathkits, Col. Williams turned to computer art and created fractal images:
samples of his work can be found on his site.
