No, I don't! Hold old are you, Tom?  :)  

But I do have some vintage Belden 72 ohm twin lead, what used to be called 
"Kilowatt Twin Lead," with what I think was #10 stranded copperweld in a 
molded dark brown jacket. I found a 250 ft spool, NOS, at a hamfest 
somewhere in the Chicago area about 30 years ago and stashed it in the 
basement, knowing that I would somehow find a use for it. I did -- to feed 
that 80/40 loaded dipole on 80 and 160 as a top-loaded wire. :)
