You sure they're not "BNC" connectors? Those are common on many scopes and probes are available from many sources.

Can you shoot a picture of it and send it to me, maybe I can tell you what it is. Can't be too weird. Remove the "NO SPAM" when replying - should you choose to. Without seeing it, not knowing what Gould used, we could be guessing all day.

Gould got broken up as a company in the mid 1980's IIRC. They had a battery division that was bought by Saft in Europe with factories in Mexico and a place in Phoenix which we visited in 1984. The electronics divisions were the money losers and I think they may have been bought up by another group such as HP, or individual factories sold as they did with the battery division.

Looking on Google produced the following from the Gould Electronics web site:

It doesn't seem to be doing much in the way of electronics these days, they are making foil and laminates by the look of things.
