[Milsurplus] Meissner 150-B Parts needed

The use of a wooden  home styled cabinet would not be out of the 
question for  some airfields before or during during WW2, especially if 
the chassis (like the AVR-11) was of the same dimensions but enhanced 
for serious duty. Metal needed for the war effort would be saved, and 
the wooden cabinet would have superior acoustic properties in most 
cases.  If the Meissener was used at an airfield, it would likely be on 
one LF frequency, and operated in continuous duty. In those times, the 
aircraft talked to the tower on HF, but listened to the tower reply on 
LF. The LF transmitter  would often serve as a beacon,  transmitting an 
MCW ID signal when there was no audio from the tower.
