Lots of Hallicrafters radios had "Sky" in their name:

Sky Elite
Sky Buddy
Skyfone
Sky Master
Skyrider Diversity
Sky Courier
Skyrider
Super Skyrider
Ultra Skyrider
Skyrider Commercial
Skychief
Sky Challenger
Sky Champion
Skyrider 5-10
Skyrider Marine
Sky Traveler
Skyrider Jr.
Skybuddy II
Sky Challenger II
Skyrider Defiant

These names are from the "Radios by Hallicrafters" book by Chuck Dachis.

I own 9 Hallicrafters radios. None of them have the word "Sky" in the
name. They sure made alot of radios.


I was looking today in a 1959 radio magazine and saw an advert for
"Sky
Pixie". Aw, cute name. :c) Much better than something like
"Transistor
6".



About that time, nearly every transistor radio had to have the words
"Solid State" somewhere on it's case. Hard to imagine, but at one time
tubes weren't cool!
