Default Receptacle Question
Has anyone seen these before? The top is solid and the bottom has 2 small screws. I removed a screw, and it appears that it is made to accept the screws. I have not seen these before and assume it is some type of a safety cover.

Looks like a connector for early 300 ohm Biaxial cable used from the antenna to the tv.

LOL. I'm not that old but old enough to remember these in my dad's house. In fact knowing my dad, there are still some stored in some drawer or cubby in his garage.
