I should think so but I have no idea. People still really love vintage Heathkit stuff.

Just think of the neat things you could do with the HERO with a RPI. As long as the chassis and servos/motors are good, it could be a fun project to revive one.

I would entertain offers if anyone is interested. It is a shame there not around these days they made some interesting things. I also have a few of there Zenith branded computers from around that time though ik what they sell for.

well time has passed and it does kinda have sentimental value to me I think ive changed my mind about parting with it unless it was for more than anyone would reasonably want to pay
