It was most likely a TH-6 or TH-7. Or a 2 element Cushcaft 40 meter beam 
since they are the only antennas that I have used over the past 18 years.

If I had to guess my money would be on the Cushcraft 2 ele shorty forty.  
They used rustable sheet metal screws under the shrink tubing on the loading 
coils to connect the aluminum element to the loading coil wire.  It is 
obvious where the screw is located by the slight bulge in the shrink tubing.  It 
can be repaired without removing the shrink tubing by cutting a small circle 
around the bad screw, replacing the sheet metal screw with stainless, then 
sealing it up.
