I have acquired a 16 tube Meissner shortwave receiver. This was a kit
from the late 1930's with the large oval dial and a bizzilion knobs.

Does anyone have a schematic or other documentation on this unit. It
has 14 tubes on top the chassis and two underneath. Thanks.

Cool! How 'bout some photos? I can't help with the documentation...I
guess you tried nostalgiaair.org?

Hi Cormac. I might be able to help. I got a lot of Meissner kit stuff. But I
need more info. Tube layout. Like Bill said a pic would be nice.

P.S. It sounds kinda like a Traffic Master kit.

I've got the drawing & schematic of the Traffic Scout, but not the Traffic
Master.

Hello - I'll check my 1942 Meissner book as I believe it has the
schematics for all of their receivers. Do you have a model number or a
name? I think one of their fancy receivers was called a Traffic Master.
Can you post some pictures?

Somehow I missed the original posting, but I have a bunch of Meissner docs
here, as well as the "Tru-Fidelity" radio that is essentially the Tarffic
Master optimized for hi-fi AM reception (push-pull 2A3s, chrome-plated audio
transformers, the works). Same well-known Meissner front end module.

Anyway, I have all sorts of data for the Traffic Master.

Photos would help, but a tube lineup would be even more useful and a lot easier
(you can post it. I don't do binary newsgroups).

Hi Dave. I got the same book and its not in there. The traffic master is 14
tube and his chassis layout is a lot different too.
