[JMS] Millen 90711 VFO

[Don Buska]

All fine on this end Bob.  I'll gather up all my Millen equipment S/N's 
and forward them over to you.  Funny I was just looking at your KW-1 
table today.  I was surprised to see one guy has seven (or was it six) 
of them!  If I had that many KW-1's I'd sell them and pay off the 
mortgage, hi.

As Gary mentioned I think the transmitters, modulator and amplifiers 
would be of interest to the general ham population.  I don't think most 
people are aware just how few, in relative terms, some of these pieces 
really are.  I'd be surprised if the 90801 transmitter and 90831 
Modulators went much above 200 pieces each.  Considering that low number 
it's surprising how many are still around.  Just with the numbers being 
passed around today it seems like the 90711 were made in much higher 
numbers compared to the aforementioned items. 

I'll send S/N's for all my stuff, including my frequency standard units 
and scopes.  At least having the numbers out there will provide a 
reference, even if not published on the website.
