Description: This item is a Vintage 1988 Heath Computer Systems Heathkit Model H-386-3 desktop along with a 1989 Zenith Monitor ZCM-1490-Z. I am also including the meticulous and extensive binder of notes and receipts from the original owner. Also included are the original assembly instructions within the binder. As you can see in the photos,on the back of the Heath Computer Systems mainframe, there are three Heathkit labels. Two of them show a model # HWD-4028 with a series # 09-16-88. The other label shows a model # of H-386-3 with a series # 11-22-88. The HWD-4028 is a 40-megabyte Winchester Drive. This entire package was an estate sale pickup. The original owner was an electronic collector and electrical engineer for many years in the city of Chicago. Some of the last photos show the 1987 Heathkit Christmas catalog, showing the H-386 desktop on the cover, as well as a full page description on page 54 of the catalog. The Zenith flat tension monitor is on page 68 of the catalog (as well as the cover). The monitor appears to have been designed with the H-386 in mind. There are two disk drives on the unit itself. A 5 1/4 inch floppy drive and a 3.5-inch hard disk drive. The power cords are not OEM. They were purchased on Amazon to see if I could get the unit up and running. It powers On. As you can see, it shows that the backup battery needs replacing. On the first page of the notes in the binder, he states that on September 13, 2014, the Heath Computer failed to boot. Message on screen "Bad Disk Controller." Purchased December 1989. Now retired after almost 25 years. Removed battery 9/14/14. This computer is being sold "as-is," and I will accept no returns due to the fragile nature of vintage electronics. There are no promises that this item works beyond power up. Local pick-up only. Appreciate your interest in this rare item! Please see my positive feedback and buy with confidence!
