      The early Luxor's had a single transponder 70 MHz input from the
downconverter.  Tuning voltage was multiplexed on the IF line, and a separate 
18v cable was required.
      Very few of the early receivers were block down types, and those that
weer quite often used 450-900 MHz, simply because it was within the UHF tv 
range, and those parts were cheap.  But not all followed that 'standard', in 
fact there seemed to be NO standard.
