Hey Millen Fans,

Below is an email from Bob W1ZZL, with his little story of past 90800 transmitter 
ownership.  He's looking to buy another 90800 transmitter.  If someone can help send 
him an email.

Thanks for answering my request, Don.  I have here instructions for my first 
transmitter...for a millen 50 Watt Transmitter-Exciter cat 90800  Serial 
3345.
That was in 1954...and one day I tried to pull the coils out with the hv 
still on...!  When the smoke cleared (I remember deliberately falling, hoping 
it would pull the rig off the table and disconnect the source of my 
misery...it did...but I shook for a long time..and the XYL said it was time 
for the DX 100  even though we couldn't afford it! Well, it is a long 
story..what I'm trying to do is to locate a 90800 (mine was given away many 
years ago) an would like to relicate my first rig..I still have the operating 
BC 348 I had at the time...so that is why I made an attempt to contact the 
Millen Society.  So there you hve it...I would dearly like to find such a 
piece...maybe you can help...many thanks, Bob Wiest W1ZZL
