My workhorse is the Millen. I happened to get a full set of coils with it, including the LF/MF 
ones. It belonged to the U of I's EE Department which they sold as surplus. I prefer it 
because the coils are a bit smaller than those in my PRM-10.

The Millen has some sort of intermittant in it which feels like a no-solder joint somewhere. 
Sometimes I have to "jar" it to get it to operate.

The Heathkit coils are also smaller in diameter.
