Russ, Ron;
I noticed that Meissner used to post a lot of ads in many magazines during the post war period promoting the use of their chassis as replacements in the cabinets of older radios. I don't think that Meissner ever manufactured and marketed complete factory produced units with cabinet the way E.H Scott or Midwest did, I think they only produced and sold chassis with ancillary items like speakers. If they did produce complete sets, such as radio-phono combo units they would probably be very rare. Come to think of it I don't think I have ever seen one of their chassis retrofited into a pre war radio cabinet, in spite of the magazine ads, I did see one that was fitted into a home made cabinet, basically in a box playing the role of a component tuner amplifier, though I am sure that it happened.
Regards
Arran
