[NJARC] Meissner radio

[Ben H.Tongue]

Hi Rich,

Meissner Mfg. Co. of Mt. Carmel, Illinois published in the late 30's, 
an orange colored book showing the schematics of various types of 
radios, even a 5" TV.  The purpose was to stimulate the sales of 
their RF and IF transformers, used in the receivers.

In 1939 I built their 'Broadcast 6' and it worked well.  It used a 6K7 
RF amp, 6A8 osc-mixer, 6K7 IF, 6Q7 det & 1st audio, 6G6G audio 
output and 6X5 rectifier.  They also showed a "6 tube AC deluxe 
TRF schematic.  It used three 6K7 RF amps, a 6Q7 det and 1st 
audio, 6V6 output audio and a 5Y4G rectifier.

I have never heard that Meissner manufactured receivers 
themselves.

If you wish, I can bring my copy of the book to the next meeting to 
show you.

Best regards,

Ben
