I have decided to part ways with a project that I never finished repairing.

I have a Heathkit Hero Jr. Robot + manuals and extras that I have had for over 30 years. It worked when it went into storage but does not now. I started troubleshooting it (and replaced most of the electrolytic caps) about a year ago, but have not had time to work on it since.

I was going to put it on eBay, but really don't want to deal with reassembling, packing, posting, etc. I'd rather someone local take over the project and bring it back to life.

Here are the photos I took of it today.

Ones in similar condition are selling for > $500 on eBay,

I'll take $300 cash if you can pick it up by the end of Feb. I am in the Hillsboro area.

I'll plan on posting it on eBay sometime next week if I don't have a buyer for it by then.

Contact me off list if you are interested.

On a side note, I am preparing to move so will have a bunch of electronics stuff that I will be parting with, some for free others for sale. I'll try to group them into only one or two more emails so as to not spam the list, but if anyone feels this is not the place to be posting these 'ads', let me know and I'll find somewhere else to post them.
