CUSIP No. 566323309                                  SCHEDULE 13D
 
This Amendment No.1 to Schedule 13D is filed to correct  certain items contained
in the initial Schedule 13D filed by the reporting person on January 11, 1999.

Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

Security Acquired: Common Stock

Issuer:  Marcum Natural Gas Services, Inc. (the "Issuer")
                  1675 Broadway
                  Suite 2150
                  Denver, CO 80202

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

FamCo  Value  Income  Partners,  L.P.  ("FamCo  VIP")  is a  California  limited
partnership. FamCo VIP invests in, holds, sells, trades, on margin or otherwise,
and otherwise deals in securities and other intangible  investment  instruments,
consisting  principally,  but  not  solely,  of  stocks,  bonds,  notes,  bills,
derivatives  and other  securities  and  instruments  that are  traded in public
markets. The general partners of FamCo VIP are Funsten Asset Management Company,
a  California  corporation,  and Kenneth B.  Funsten,  president  and  portfolio
manager of Funsten Asset Management Company (together,  the "General Partners").
FamCo VIP and the General Partners are located at 121 Outrigger Mall, Marina del
Rey,  California  90292.  FamCo  VIP and the  General  Partners  have  not  been
convicted in a criminal proceeding during the last five (5) years. FamCo VIP and
the General Partners have not, during the past five (5) years, been a party to a
civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent  jurisdiction
which  resulted in their being  subject to any  judgment,  decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating  activities  subject
to,  federal or state  securities  laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

FamCo VIP  acquired  the  shares of the Issuer  and the  common  stock  purchase
warrants (the  "Warrants")  purchased in December 1998, with the working capital
of Famco VIP. FamCo VIP and Mr. Funsten also received  Warrants on September 18,
1998,  when  the  Issuer   distributed  such  Warrants  as  a  dividend  to  its
shareholders on September 18, 1998.

As to the shares of the Issuer which Mr. Funsten holds directly and the Warrants
which he purchased in December  1998,  he has acquired  such shares and Warrants
with his  personal  funds.  Funsten  Asset  Management  Company does not own any
shares of the Issuer.

Item 4   Purpose of Transaction

The  purpose  of the  transactions  reported  by  this  Schedule  13D was and is
investment  in the  securities  of the  Issuer.  Mr.  Funsten may hold talks and
discussions  with various parties,  including,  but not limited to, the Issuer's
management,  its board of  directors  and  other  shareholders  on a variety  of
possible  subjects,  regarding ways to increase  shareholder  value. Mr. Funsten
intends to pay close  attention to developments at and pertaining to the Issuer,
and, subject to market  conditions and other factors deemed relevant to him, Mr.
Funsten  and  FamCo  VIP  may  purchase,  jointly  or  separately,  directly  or
indirectly, additional shares of the Issuer's stock or dispose of some or all of
such shares in  open-market  purchases  or  privately  negotiated  transactions.
Furthermore,  the Issuer may from time to time contact large shareholders with a
view towards discussing the acquisition of their shares. Other than as described
above,  neither Mr. Funsten nor FamCo VIP have current plans or proposals  which
would result in any of the following:

     a.   the acquisition by any person of additional  securities of the Issuer,
          or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

     b.   an   extraordinary   corporate   transaction,   such   as  a   merger,
          reorganization  or  liquidation,  involving  the  Issuer or any of its
          subsidiaries;
 
     c.   a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any
          of its subsidiaries;

     d.   any change in the present  board of  directors  or  management  of the
          Issuer,  including any plans or proposals to change the number or term
          of directors or to fill any vacancies on the board;
 
     e.   any material change in the present  capitalization  or dividend policy
          of the Issuer;

     f.   any  other  material  change in the  Issuer's  business  or  corporate
          structure;

     g.   changes in the Issuer's charter, by-laws or instruments  corresponding
          thereto or other actions which may impede the  acquisition  of control
          of the Issuer by any person;

     h.   causing a class of  securities  of the  Issuer to be  delisted  from a
          national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted
          in an interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities
          association;

     i.   causing a class of  securities  of the Issuer to become  eligible  for
          termination of registration  pursuant to Section  12(g)(4) of the Act;
          or

     j.   any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) - (b) As of the date of this Schedule 13D,  FamCo VIP owns 232,200 shares of
the Issuer's  common stock and 58,050  Warrants,  representing  in the aggregate
approximately  8.12% (1) of the  Issuer's  3,518,231  shares  outstanding  as of
October 31,  1998 (based upon  information  obtained  from the  Issuer's  latest
10-QSB).

As a holder of sole voting and  investment  authority  over the shares  owned by
FamCo Value Income  Partners,  L.P. and FamCo Offshore,  Ltd. and as a holder of
the Issuer's  shares  directly,  Mr. Funsten may be deemed,  for the purposes of
Rule 13d-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  to be the
beneficial  owner of a total of  372,075  shares and  90,937  Warrants  owned by
himself and those entities.  Based upon the combined ownership of the shares and
the Warrants, Mr. Funsten may be deemed to own, in the aggregate,  approximately
12.83% (2) of the Issuer's  3,518,231 shares  outstanding as of October 31, 1998
(based upon information  obtained from the Issuer's latest 10-QSB).  Mr. Funsten
disclaims  any  economic  interest in the shares as to which Mr.  Funsten has no
direct or indirect pecuniary  interest.  An employee of Funsten Asset Management
Company  ("Management  Company") owns an additional 4,100 shares which cannot be
sold or  further  added to  without  permission  by Mr.  Funsten  by  virtue  of
restrictions  that are placed on  securities  transactions  by  employees of the
Management Company;  however,  Mr. Funsten has no investment or voting authority
over the shares of said employee and Mr. Funsten expressly disclaims  beneficial
ownership of such shares.

(c) The following presents a list of purchases (including acquisitions by way of
distributions)  and sales of all shares by FamCo VIP and Mr.  Funsten within the
last 60 days, including the price per Share and the means by which such purchase
or sale was effected.

Mr. Funsten       11/12/98                  825                                 $2.3125          OMP

3,518,231  shares  (outstanding)  and 58,050  (number of Warrants  held by FamCo
VIP).

(2) The percentage  was  calculated by adding 372,075 shares to 90,937  Warrants
and by dividing the sum by the sum of 3,518,231 shares  (outstanding) and 90,937
(number of Warrants).
