1976 Quasar console at a thrift

makes me wonder how long twin lead connectors lasted.

Newest I saw were on a VCR from 1991

VCR,s had the 75 VHF & 300 UHF since day one til
I dont know. Latest 300ohm U/V were probably on low
end Korean jobs & 1st gen Chi-Com junk. Must have
gone away with knob-job tuners. I do remember some RCA sets
kept 75 & 300 ohm late. Not the stuff I remember as it really
didnt effect my job. 75 only simplified service. No need for
clothes pins, just stick on a push on connector. Fast but
we did go through them by the bag after being stepped on etc.
