Late 70's hey? If it was Tandy cable I would have suspected it was better than that. I bought my first cable at R/S around 79 or 80 and it was much better than that. It was polyethylene insulated RG8. The RG8X mini foam seems to have stood up better over the years as opposed to RG8 and especially the RG-58. I do remember the RG-58 as being pretty bad. I may use the cable you show above for shielded audio cables or maybe shielded DC cables but even for HF it looks pretty bad. 2m?? Not in this lifetime or the next.
