Interesting old TV receptacle

[Scott Gilligan, CMI]

Came across this strange receptacle today on an inspection and thought it was probably related to an old antenna system. I tried doing some research to find a similar picture, but didn't find anything. The closest thing that I came across was a similar connector for an old TV tube brightener, but it had 12 pins. Anyone ever see one of these before?

I had one of those in my house whenI moved it, it was attached to an antenna wire that went into the garage and outside but there was no antenna... I remove the entire thing and plug the holes...

Not sure of the age, my house was built in 1973...

My parents had a receptacle like that but with only 3 holes and it was for the tv antenna

You guys remember antennae rotors?

I would love to know how you always find information and photographs of the really bizzar stuff that gets posted on this board. I searched all over for information on these things and couldn't find anything. Good find!

I have been around the block a time or two.
