content: Thanks for your opinions.It seems too many other people are also interested in these items, since the (auction) price has gone up a hundredfold today

content: That looks like a "precision" TNC, which as tggzzz suggested would be good into the 18 GHz range as opposed to a standard TNC, which would not.

content: I don't think it any of the types mentioned.It is smaller than a TNC & larger than any of the "SM" types.I'm pretty sure I have some in the shed, which came from a dumpster dive, but I am immobilised at the moment (I just had a Total Knee Replacement!).

content: A bit more research confirmed that the connectors on the pile of Gore cables were TNC. They'd got to over £500 when I stopped looking, no idea what they finally went for. No idea who'll buy them at that price, virtually no-one uses TNC.

content: There must be a specific use for them to have gone for so much. I know Gore cables are $$$ but even phase stable 3.5mm RF cables often go for less.
