Hello Bill:
  Let me know what parts you need for your repair work and I will see what I 
have.
  I am looking for the speach amp/modulator # 90831 in any condition.

                                                                Ken  K0GEI

Hello to all,
    I am probably the newest member of the JMS and would like to introduce 
myself to the group.
    My name is Bill and the call is K1BF. I hale from Maine and operate a 
Millen 90881 presently driven by a Lysco 500 on 160 and 80 Meters regularly. 
I have both a 90800 which is stock and a 90881 which is defiantly not stock.
    The 90800 is going to need a lot of help as did the 90881. I muddled 
through the 90881 project quite successfully despite the fact that it had no 
coils and was severely "hacked' when I got it. I have to say that it works 
very well now and looks quite original after a complete striping and etc.
    Back to the 90801. It has had the final tank modified to cover 80 meters 
only with a Pi net. There is a different arrangement on the panel for the 
oscillator which has been very professionally done with an engraved panel 
overlaying the original band switch and tuning cap area. It is engraved with 
frequency ranges rather than specific bands on the band switch and resonance 
areas on the tuning cap.  I know this piece came from Malden, Mass so it may 
have been a prototype or perhaps a factory mod.
    I need some info on the tank values, particularly the value of L3&4 and 
L8&9 to restore this piece.
    It is my intention to use the 90800 with new coils etc to drive my 90881 
SN500 on 160 and the 90801 to drive my other 90881 SN501 on the other bands 
as I have all the coils for the newer deck and it is stock.
    If anyone could help me with the 90801 I would be very grateful. The 
pictures on the JMS web page have given me a good start.
    If it is any help the SN of the 90801 is 254.
                                        Thanks, Bill
