[Mich VHF UHF Society] 70cm Antennae Mfg ID Help Request

[Jeff Berman]

Mark that’s a KLM 16 element, replacement insulators are available from M2, but are a bit expensive. Inspect the copper straps solder connections on the balun, they tend to break away over time.
I have the same antenna on my tower…73 Jeff K9YR

Hallo,
I'm attempting to re-enter the V/UHF weak signal world. I retrieved my old 432 mHz beam from my scrap aluminium pile and find a few broken element insulators.
I want to determine the manufacturer in case they may still be around for parts.
It's 16 elements, 3 of which are tied together with phasing cross straps ala log-periodic (rest are standard reflector and parasitic director elements). I'm guessing the multiple driven elements were to broad-band it, perhaps for ATV use?
Another ID clue: it's fed with a copper tube sleeve balun mounted on the boom.
