[JMS] N9OO's Millen S/N List

[CORPORATE]

Yes, several unit serial number logs exist, but from what I have remembered 
they don't go back to the 1940's. Some I have even kept up to date as 
manufacturing continued.  Don't have time to resurect at this time but have 
hopes to do so before I (you know).   Ralph

> Another note on the dippers, Ed Tanton N4XY just bought S/N #1 of the

> Twenty five years ago would have been around the time that the James
