Chuck, I replaced the transformer in the Sony metal box with my regular torrid built one I had in the plastic bottle. I wanted the metal box and that I could use and it had the one F fitting. I drilled two holes on the backside to install the banana jax so I could plug in the antenna and ground. But I did not use the TV matching transformer coil. I removed it. My matching transformer I had in the plastic bottle is now in the metal box. Thoe S Meter readings I gave were from the coax with the terminator on the end. As I mentioned, after I put an F connector back on the end of the coax, and screwed on the terminator, I got barely threshold on CBU-690. Gone was the S9 signal, but I did get S2-S4 on some Seattle stations like KIRO and S9 on the locals. So the coax is still leaky, but things have improved a lot. Now to replace the coax with something better.
