This handsome receiver kit was advertised in the December, 1941, issue of Radio News.  Meissner Manufacturing of Mt. Carmel, Illinois, was a manufacturer of components, and also sold manufactured radios and kits. Shown here is a three-tube receiver, but it was also offered as a one or two-tube version. After mastering the one tube set, it was possible to upgrade. The three-tube set, model 10-1163, sold for $5.15, not including battery, tubes, and headphones. The one-tube set, model 10-1161, sold for $3.30, and the two-tube model, 10-1162, was priced at $3.96.  They came with a coil for the standard broadcast band, and additional coils for the short waves were available.
