[JMS] Millen 90711 VFO

[Bob Sullivan]

Fellow members,

I have two Millen 90711's - #150 (restored) and #330 (new in the box).
See "unpacking photos" here:
http://www.isquare.com/personal_pages/millenvfo-new.htm

Both have the two terminal output connector. I would bet that the SO-239 
shown on the auction VFO has been added. It is positioned directly over the 
two holes used for the terminal-type connector and the flange of the SO-239 
would cover these "old" holes.

I don't really need two 90711's - so if someone has a serious interest 
please contact me directly (robert at isquare.com).

73, Bob
WØYVA
