[Hallicrafters] EARLY sky buddy

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

John, 			
	
Checking with Chuck Dachis, and having some sighted friends take a close look at
the original ads that I have, I believe that the Skybuddy you are talking about
is the second model, second version, 1936, no boy. The first model, first
version came out in 1935 and had the boy. There are three models, but two
versions; with boy and without boy.		
	
Who knows what appeared on the third model in, what, 1937? Unless Chuck Dachis
is including the S-119 from 1960, a commemorative set in his original statement
of "three models"!  
	
Other than the different artwork on the celluloid dial there were no other
differences between versions.
