[Boatanchors] Meissner ID and schematic wanted

[Richard Post]

The "Deluxe All Wave 12" was my first guess as well but with 12 tubes 
and 3 IF trans it comes up short.  Have its schematic in the Meissner 
"How to Build" book copyright 1943.  No "14-5" in that book.
Three of the All Wave 12 tubes are in a sub-chassis (the pre-wired 
"tuning unit") available separately.  Perhaps the 14 tube receiver is 
related to the All-Wave 12.  With 7 IF's, does it perhaps also do FM? 
Otherwise I don't see how a receiver would use 7 IF's.

Didn't see the Shutterfly pics as the URL given wants me to sign up first.
