 OOPS. In going over my old archives I found my question had
been answered before by Tony Duell and Jeff Kaneko back in
April/99. Yes it was for the H/Z 89. They were Siemen drives.
Either Altheimers or a case of left hands unfamiliarity with right
hands action. Then again old farts memories do hiccup
occasionally. Embarassing since it was a very long thread on
Heathkit fdds that segued into a general discussion on FDDs.

Basically if they were kits they were badged H-K, if assembled
Zenith from what I've been able to find out.
