A non-ham neighbor is disposing of his father's station with 90711 VFO 
S/N 357 and 90801 S/N 358.  He has manuals and original Millen order 
paperwork. Both units look very nice.
Also there's a 90811, S/N 489. Its plugin coils look like they're for HF 
(20-10/11?) and there are two boxes with grid and plate coils for 6m. I 
don't see any Millen power supplies, but a chassis with a UTC power 
transformer, choke and UTC modulation transformer, rectifiers, some 6A5G 
and 6SN7s looks suspiciously like a power supply and modulator for the 
90801.

His father is WA6HEC, who moved to Boise, Idaho some years ago and he 
did not get back on the air. The equipment has not been used for a long 
time but it is in excellent cosmetic condition. The VFO is self 
contained and I have GPS-disciplined freq counter, scopes, spectrum 
analyzer, etc, so I can check that unit out pretty thoroughly. I don't 
have 600-750 VDC power supplies any more, and I didn't see any power 
cables, but if someone is seriously interested I might be able to borrow 
or kluge something together to check it out.

Not Millen, but for completeness there is also an RME 4350 (S/N 17644) 
w/matching speaker and manual, Sideband Engineers model 34 transceiver 
(S/N 209133), Heath SB620 station monitor (#751, series 9849A), Heath 
HM-15 SWR meter, a J38, Vibroplex S/N 156965 (black crackle base, chrome 
parts, carrying case), Bencher paddles and HK5A keyer, Johnson KW LPF, 
Drake TV-100 LPF and a lone Heathkit UT-1 utility power supply.
