[JMS] Fw: PS for Millen 90881 HF Amplifier

[THOMAS SMITH]

My Millen 90281 supply is only good for 750v at about 235ma so won’t do you much good. Depending on what finals you run, you will probably need to build. I’ve seen a ton of HV supplies at the fests for way less money than it would take to assemble one from scratch (depending on how healthy your junk box is). Especially good prices toward the end of the day and how much the supply weighs. LOL

Tis the season for looking under the table and in the back of the pickup trucks. :<}

The PS would only put out about 1,000V with silicon rectifiers, so it would limit your input to around 200W, but it includes an audio section ending up with a pair of 811A's for modulation.  I had one here, but it was too doggone heavy for me to deal with so I sold it locally.
