Basic cost abt $6 back then + $3 if you wanted remote. We made
a fortune selling Jerrold 400 & 450 handunits. Cost $5 and sold
them for $30. The Jerrold 400 box could also be modded in 2
minutes to get all channels by we never did it. That would get a
lot of attention !!!

Funny, my flatty came with a Jerrold 400 box that I still have. Got to find my 450 remote one of these days to find out if it will work with the 400.
Found it already, sweet.
