  • Notes

  • Meissner featured it along with another of their kits in a full page ad on the back cover of the November 1938 Radio-Craft. The price of the kit in that ad was $12.90 for all parts except tubes or speaker.

    During World War II, it was advertised in Radio News and QST as one of several kits sold for "training purposes". The price in a 1943 ad, still without tubes and speaker, had more than doubled to $27.00.

    Meissner never provided a cabinet for this set.

    The same set was used by the Sprayberry Academy of Radio but was not identified as being the Meissner 10-1106 kit. The parts for the radio are prominently displayed beginning in a February 1939 ad. Various ads in Radio-Craft in 1944 show the set (kit components) as part of Sprayberry training.
