Interesting stuff.  Thanks.

RG-65 says no longer available.  It also says:
  Coaxial Delay Line 0.15 uSec/ft
(Am I having troubles counting zeros, or is that seriously slow?)
  Nom. Imp.  	950
  Vel. of Prop.  	2 (no units)
  Cond. Material  	Magnet Wire Helix
(What is "magnet wire", and what does "helix" mean and how does it effect 
coax?)


RG186 says:
  Shield Material  	Magnet Wire   [What does that mean?]
  Nom. Imp.  	1000

The cable on scope probes (at least fancy ones) has a tiny conductor.  I 
think that translates into high impedance.
