Meissner was a manufacturer of radio parts in the 1930s. In the early
days of television, many experimenters built their own TV receivers
from plans published in magazines. Meissner introduced this kit for
this market. It has a 5 inch screen. A
cabinet was also available for
it. Click here for technical information

An article was published in Radio News describing how to
convert this set to a 9 inch screen.
Another article describes building
the kit.
