Were these connectors ever that common?
The whole reason for them was to be able to quickly connect/disconnect the antenna wire. Not something that the average set owner did often enough to care about.
The only place I ever saw them used was on repair shop service benches, or on the output of portable test gear like bar/dot generators. Once the 75 ohm era came along, we used the push-on type F connectors for the same reason, but they were a lot less durable...
