Hehe, didn't think anyone would care about it. It's M-M IIRC, I'd have to
look out on the bench to be sure. I see em all the time here locally, and
just happened to grab that one. I figured it was worth $0.50, since I
needed one awhile back and couldn't find one. A few weeks later, I found
my stash of those things...

Any ideas as to what the 353A3 cable might be for? It has an 8 wire cable,
but in the only uses 2 of the conductors. It has a small coil in a plastic
box behind the BNC connector. It reminds me of the converters used for
certain terminal applications, but I've never seen an AT&T brand terminal.

The Glenmarc fluid dispenser is quite a find for $0.50 I think too.
Especially since I know what it is now ;)
