 Most cool Roger!   8)  I assume you got your hands on one?

I did find one but it is awaiting restoration.  The dial has a crack on one end so I will have to scan mine and make a reproduction.

You would think in the home state of Meissner there would be a few matching Meissner 150 transmitters to keep it company :)

I think that top one is the same model that W3JN picked up a few years ago and reports its a great performer.

Roger, if you got a 150B you would need help just to turn it upside down. I use the VFO from one for a QRP rig and most production for the 150B went to the US Army.

Carl,  I thought I would work out with my HT-9 transmitters for awhile to build up the strength to pick up one 150B.   I would have to find two Meissner transmitters anyway because Rob K5UJ has been lusting for one for awhile and I would feel too guilty getting one before him :)
