I built that same TV.  Full magnetic shielding, the first digital tuner
(guy who designed it for Heath later went to Fairchild and put the tuner on
an IC).  Some circuitry borrowed from professional-level studio monitors.
Video response down to DC and up to 8MHz.  Hi-Fi audio output (mono-only,
this was the 70's you know).  Remote control (rare back then).

Took me four weeks of soldering, but it was an absolutely amazing TV
picture for its time.
