[JMS] Millen Project

[ronnie.hull]

sure wish I could help you out Mike, but I don't have those coils. My 
project is held up too. I can't seem to find a Millen HV supply for my 90801 
no matter where I look. Guess I'll have to homebrew one up. Also the HV 
sense circuit I built up is not working correctly so I guess I could bypass 
that.

I have ruined 2 panels now trying to build a front panel for my modulator. I 
bought my modulator directly from Millen. All brand new except it did not 
have the meter or the panel. I have procured a meter ( thanks, you know who 
you are! ) but I'm about to dispair ruining another panel trying to get one 
right. Then after I do that, if I ever do, I have to construct the covers 
for the modulator. I'm not good at all at sheet metal work, so I may just 
have to trash this modulator project and sell off what I have, in hopes that 
someday I can buy a complete modulator. I missed one last year on ebay. I 
got outbid by someone out west who has more money than me LOL..

anyway, it will all come together sooner or later!!

73's and good luck and God bless
