There is a co that deals in this stuff in OZ, but they only deal in commercial stuff regarding these boxes..

Some useful UHF devices in there. MRF901s , BFR90s etc. They are old but OK for some applications.

The scientific Atlanta 9708 (Bmac) is not much good for anything.

A while back people were selling them to some Asia country, which could use them for some unknown reason.

I have one sitting in the shed it's main use is to have two buckets off bolts sitting on it.

at one time India ESPN was B-Mac
They will do conventional Analogue IF you can find any
