[Boatanchors] Re: GB> Meissner Radio 3BK and coil help.

[RJ Mattson]

MEISSNER 3BK/2BK RECEIVER. (Original OceanHopper)

The coils are 7/8" OD paper stock with 5 riveted solder lugs on the side.
I think it would be easy to replicate the coils looking at them.
I found the 80/40m coil. 18-3503
I believe the chassis is punched to use either battery or AC tubes.
Attached are links to view the Meissner 3BK/2BK

Back: http://www.hvinet.com/rjmattson/meissner2
Coil:  http://www.hvinet.com/rjmattson/meissner3
There is also a cabinet with mfgr and coil data on the rear.
I need room. Make me an offer I can't refuse.
