[time-nuts] Two pieces of old General Radio Freq. Nuts

Yep, GR once made the best. The GR connector had at least three things 
going; as noted hermaphroditic. No need for several sexes. Second, they 
are seamless 50 ohms, very very small reflections at the connection. 
Third, banana plugs (also a GR idea, I think) fit in the center "post" 
of the connector without wrecking anything. GR also made an 
hermaphroditic connector good to several GHz before passing into legend.
