There is a co that deals in this stuff in OZ, but they only deal in commercial stuff regarding these boxes..

Think that one was Bmac analog... not much use now

Some useful UHF devices in there. MRF901s , BFR90s etc. They are old but OK for some applications.

The scientific Atlanta 9708 (Bmac) is not much good for anything.

A while back people were selling them to some Asia country, which could use them for some unknown reason.

I have one sitting in the shed it's main use is to have two buckets off bolts sitting on it.

They will do conventional Analogue IF you can find any
