You could also mooch around your local computer salvage place and watch out for IBM System 36/38 or AS/400 kit, they used Twinaxial cable, though I'm not sure of the impedance

Do you have any ideas on what the cable was called ?
I have tracked down Twinax.
Exactly. Widely used in the telephone industry. We used to get them in 100m rolls, when I was still in that industry. Regards Johan Smit
Unfortunately no. The stuff used at the TV station was likely special made-to-order cable used by the Bell System and/or AT&T Long Lines - around 1960 or so - this was way before the breakup. In 1997 we moved to a new building, so I don't have any way to even look at the cable.
