[Boatanchors] Bird Termaline 50 Ohm load - 82A - Need adapter

[Nick England]

It looks sort of like a type LC that was used on RG-17/U - but it
isn't - the LC is too small.
So I am guessing it is a Bird Coplanar Type CS which is 1.125 x 18 thread.
The Bird CA-8B adapter is a CS to N adapter.
Those are the ID numbers - where to find them is another question.

I got this info from a Bird 884 Termaline manual - their manuals for
old products are available at
http://www.bird-technologies.com/resource/item-754c25b1-8309-4e3b-be2f-98240a9ff67c.aspx

Hope this helps,
Nick K4NYW
