I'll have to keep an eye out looking for one of those for the two 303s I have here. Knew they existed, but I have a 307 and a (I think...305) that both have UHF. The first set in my "collection" was a Sony 303 my Dad gave me around 20 years ago that was in pretty good shape. I kept it around and on a shelf around ten years before I thought of "collecting" sets at all. Recently found a "basket case" 303 that had a good CRT, and got mine nice and bright again (was having a weird "silvery faces" contrast problem that turned out to be the CRT).

We do have UHF still here in San Diego. Some odd Mexican stations, and for some reason....a couple regular stations have popped up in the last couple months. I've not watched them long enough to see who they are yet. There is a jack on the side of 303 that I thought was just for the little tiny box/balun for an external antenna. This little UHF tuner must shoot a signal on channel 13 or something.

This great looking antenna reminds me of the one I have been looking for for the Singer TV6U.
