[JMS] 90800 Coils

[myann88 at comcast.net]

Hi Jim,

I just have to say that your homebrew solution for making 90800 coils is really a neat way of doing it.  My compliments!  

After overcoming a few health problems, I am working once more on my Millen 812A Amp project.  The HV power supply and modulator (pair of 811As) have been built and tested. I am going to drive the big Millen amp with a Ranger.  I built an exact setup like that a few years ago Jim when I lived in PA. The Ranger audio is  fed directly into the 811 grids. Just make sure that you add a 3000 ohm resister across the grids of the 811s in the modulator though.  Really works!  My best to the Millen gang!

Vy 73, Mike, W2NVR
