Mahogany oscilloscope?

A while back on ebay I saw what appeared to be a Meissner 10-1153 television set. It was listed as a "Mahogany Oscilloscope" made by the Jefferson Electric Co. I Intended to bid on it, but forgot. Anyway someone bought it for 5 bucks.

Jefferson Electric made transformers, and I suppose the guy could have read the name off a transformer or something. On the other hand, Meissner was joined at the hip with Thordarson, and it seems likely to me that a Meissner product would have Thordarson transformers.

Meissner sold the cabinets separately, so I suppose someone could have built almost anything in the cabinet.

So heres the question, did an AK'er buy it? What was inside, a Meissner television set or a Jefferson Electric oscilloscope?

I've written him. He has a Meissner kit set in the factory cabinet. He got the deal of the century.

Yes that was the Meissner in the factory cabinet. First one I've ever seen! The HV transformer in the set is a Jefferson with the label easily visible from the bottom of the set, so there is where the seller must have gotten this from.

What a deal!
