Paid equal to US$62, with some probe and a Japanese manual.
Lets see if it actually works when it arrives. |O :-DD

If it doesn't you'll have your Japanese wife to answer to. :P :P :-DD :-DD

Naaahhh... at that price it's easy to justify. Even if he can't get it working he can part it out for profit, or parts mule it to make even more money on other units.
More likely she'd just ask him to take her out for sushi when it sells. :-DD

Except I converted her to the ways of slabs of red meat. :D She eats sushi, but we imported a Weber barbeque (Genesis S-330, town gas version) and we use it a lot.

There are many indications of the age, notably a plastic sheath over paper insulated pairs and but plastic (rather than foam) disk coax.
I would say first half of 1960'ies.
The cable being UK Post Office and the post-war material scarcity means that it could be younger than that.

I'm sceptical that post-war material shortages might have been a driver of such highly specialised/expensive/important cable.
But your guess at the date is plausible, but not certain.
I doubt it would be earlier than the mid 50s. I doubt it would be the late-70s or later. By that time it was obvious multimode optical fibres were the future for comms between exchanges, and monomode fibre was the subject of much research. GPO Martlesham Heath was transmitting 2Mb/s down audio quad pairs between exchanges, which was the subject of some interesting and commercial and technical "considerations".

I don't think 2.4 micrometres of armour is going to make much difference. >:D
--- End quote ---
Sigh. The other nm in common use all around the world, i.e. not just USA.
But you knew that :)

So newton-metres then...? >:D

Sounds like my Tek 464 experience. By comparison my DM63 is exquisite.
