Found this junk shopping. Locally made with F-type connections for composite and line level mono in and is apparently factory set to "Channel D"
There's sharpie on the side somehow relating D to the number 17, which according to this - Quote:

Analog cable channel D, also called channel 17; 138-144 MHz, not broadcast channel 17. |

It took me a little while to find something to adapt the coaxial connectors to something else but yes, it IS a CATV modulator!
I put a test pattern on the input and tried a Jerrold cable box and the test pattern came in clean and strong on channel 17. |

Hi to all,
Hi MIPS, it's a nice unit and i think it's up to Broadcast quality with Vestigial sideband filtering not dual sideband like consumer units. I purchased a new one circa 1990, it was on a VHF Band III channel, CCIR (Euro) channel norm. Used with an Avantek wideband power amplifier "brick", it made a decent low power 1 watt TV transmitter to use with your TVs around the house. I would have loved a Blonder-Tongue modulator, the one with +95dBm output that you can find cheaply today as reformed cable equipment but BT only made Euro models on special order and they cost around 2K$ in 1990.
