Vintage Meissner 9-1085 Broadcast FM / SW Tubed radio Working:
$59.99

Up for sale is this Vintage Meissner Tube Radio which I believe is a model 9-1085 . This radio has been powered on and does work well , the internal antenna works great , this is in my basement without any other kind of antenna and it pulls in stations that come in clear , the speaker sounds good with no cracking or static. There is a Phono jack on the back that I did not test due to not having anything to test it with.
The radio measures 14 1/2 wide 8 inches tall and 8 inches deep and weighs a little over 11 pounds. I acquired this at a recent estate sale so I do not know any history before I got it. Everything seems to work as it should.The back panel has been replaced . I did clean up the outside but not the inside, I didn\'t want to disturb any of the wires or tubes. I will leave that up to someone who knows what they are doing. Look at the pictures to see the condition of this radio. Here is some information I found on line.Meissner 9-1085
The Meissner 9-1085 AM/SW radio is a two-band AC-DC set covering broadcast and shortwave. The design of the radio with its metal cabinet and its 1946 production date suggest strongly that it was intended as a morale radio for purchase by U.S. troops stationed overseas as part of the occupation of the Axis nations immediately following World War II. The set is a variation on the typical AC-DC 5 octal tube set often called an \"All-American 5\". It includes short wave reception, incorporates a 6th tube for an untuned RF amp stage to improve sensitivity, and an IF wave trap. It also has a power supply choke, seldom seen in typical AC-DC sets. The choke would enable a reduced level of hum from the half-wave power supply especially if it was run from 50 Hz power typical of overseas locations. This set also came with a moisture resistant coating on the paper caps.
