the prongs on the uhf/vhf inputs feet

Prongs? I had to look that up since I hadn't heard of a VHF/UHF connection with prongs before. That doesn't seem very friendly compared to just using a regular plug? In Australia we used these connectors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belling-Lee_connector which have existed since the 1920s.

These are the cables I was familiar with way back then.

Wow, interesting. I don't think we had those in Australia. I was born in the very early 90s but my mum had a TV from the 1960s and it had a regular plug (like the one I linked to) for the antenna. Those prongs don't seem user-friendly :)
