I sometimes just get these items because the alternative is the dump.

I’ve gotten a Millen90800 50 watt exciter circa 1940. I guess it will make a nice CW transmitter for SKN I guess. Anyone know anything about this? I have a copy of the manual and the 1940 QST article so that may be it.

I have a hb copy of one from the QST article. Don't know when it was built maybe in the '50s or '60s. The coils are kinda hard to come across.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts

figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
