[Hallicrafters] Mysterious Ad and Kit Offer

[Bill Gerhold]

This is correct.  The "Kit" was a bunch of stuff with a fully assembled
radio.

Correct on the "K" designation, Duane.  And to my knowledge the S-120 
was not offered in kit form.

Just to clear up any confusion about Bill's "kit" - he said:

"The kit includes:

1) The precision Hallicrafters 4-Band radio complete with 3 antenna systems.
(built in ferrite loop, telescoping whip, and wire..."

and the globe, map, and all the other stuff.

So what was offered was a kit of stuff, not a radio in kit form.  And 
while the S-119K was a radio sold in kit form, it was only 3 bands and 
didn't come with a whip antenna.
