A charming little something fit to grace anybody’s mantlepiece :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Wasn’t a PL-259 used in in ham/amateur radio or am I just confused?

When I was an apprentice, one of the engineers was a ham radio enthusiast. Might have come via him. I think they were used on oscilloscope probes as well. Might have got it to re-wire one of those …we’re talking 60 years ago now. Some of the things in that jumble are that old.

There is old fashioned 3 tag ‘tag strip’ in there somewhere as well, which I know came from the days of the transition days from 405 to 625 line television. Some of the 405 line TVs could be converted with an add-on kit. The tag strip was part of that.

No.you are not confused Chilli, they were used as you say, and in commercial communications. I must have used and terminated hundreds of them over time.
Now I’m curious as to how many might also still be here in this house. :thinking:

Somewhere I should still have a box of all sorts of similar & related connectors.
Or have I thrown them out? :thinking: Hmm RAM failure here due old age Duh ! :confused:

Another jumble. All leads either had their use at the time or were surplus to immediate requirements…

I love trees…This one must be almost 500 years old…We are both past our best…

Old trees have been there through a lot of history. Think of all the generations of people who have either sat under or passed by them. All the different styles of clothing they wore. The wars they have stood through…
