[JMS] Millen Project

[myann88 at comcast.net]

Hello All!

Well, I am ready to smoke test my partial homebrew transmitter which includes the completely restored Millen Amplifier, Millen Exciter, Millen Scope and a 750 volt Millen power supply still being restored (I am using a homebrew L.V. supply for now in the rig). However, before I can start testing, I need a couple of coils for the 90800 6L6-807 Millen) exciter.

Does anyone out there have any coils, particularly for the 40 and 75 meter bands?
Of course I can homebrew  some, but I would like to keep to the original plan and keep things the way they were long ago.

In particular, I am looking for the coils used in the plate circuits of the 6L6 and 807.  The cathode coils are not that critical since I can fire up the exciter without them if I use the right coil combination  on either 40 or 75.

While I am at it, I wonder if anyone out there has a Millen Modulator he would like to part with?  

In any case, all of you have a nice day today and many more thereafter!

P.S. Bill Connelly, W3MJ and also a member of our JMS, loaned me (for an indefinite period), the Millen 750 supply for my project.. I think that it was an incredibly nice thing to do! Thanks again Bill!
