Yes, that conenctor (We generally call them PL259s and SO239s (plug and 
socket respectively) over here) was quite common on video equipment at 
one time. I have no idea why, it's not even close to constant impedance, 
and it's very easy to make a right mess of soldering the plug to the 
cable. The BNC connecotr is a lot nicer.

There was a popular monochrome monitor over here in the late 1970s/early 
1980s. I think it was a Nitachi, the case was grey-painted metal with a 
black plastic front panel, it was almost cubical in shape, and came in 9" 
and 12" versions. I came across them used with Apple ][s, RML380Zs, etc. 
Anyway, that used SO239s as the input connectors.
