In my area of the system I have the original Antenna Cable System and every once and a wile I find some of the old taps.

I have found a ColorView 13ch Line Amp(looked like an LE) but someone thought it was cooler then me and took it but I have taps I took pictures to show you. It was built all 412 cable with a multitude of tap brands here is one

Cone? It appears to be on the back of his truck. And did you see the car scratchers that are hanging in the
wheel chock holes? That looks an awful lot like a line truck, not a amp monkey's truck. What's the deal olo,
you changing sides? LOL

I have seen these same taps, only they were plastic, and had the Craftsman logo on them!

Were those 412 connectors pin, or feed through?

Gotta keep strand and dead ends on your truck for when you get stuck. Someone has to pull you out some way.

I wished I took a picture of it but I took it to the office to show it off and it disappeared. It was not on active plant the system had been dead for years but I find one every now and again.

That amp was cool it had levels inside and it was dated 1973 on an inspection sticker. Maybe I will luck out and find another and I will post it.

Here are four meters of a type that probably could have been used on your old system. These are Jerrold 704B meters.
Some day I'll get into the Loyal Order of The 704, and these are my tickets!
