Those radios were not very high performance. Yes they were kits, from Allied Radio. More useful for the fun of assembly than actual use.
Having said that, you can still receive some interesting stuff. It's not stable enough for pleasant reception of SSB or even CW but for foreign broadcast, WWV, and such it's fine.
You will need an antenna, preferably a long wire outdoors. Don't waste money on a commercially made antenna. I believe the manual would be available on edebris; Google that and you'll find it right away.
