As for Enertek, here's a link to a thread that has a pretty good history and pictures, too!

Enjoy!



Bob-

Thanks for the link on the Enertek history....that was GREAT stuff, photos and all! Makes one really wonder 'what might have been' if the products in that '89 catalog had actually made it to market! I picked up my first ever copy of that catalog this past summer and in the context of the late 80s, these would have sold like gangbusters one would think.

Was Enertek's demise a result of the inability to formulate enough capital for those initial orders? Or was it more complicated than that?

Regardless, that would have been an impressive initial offering of kits!

Great history!

Earl
