I have been unable to locate any site that has the ARC-5 Tech Manual
online.  I got a copy on a CD-ROM on eBay and you can buy a copy of the
manual from several sources, like W7FG Manuals at http://www.w7fg.com/ or
The Raymond Sarrio Company at http://www.sarrio.com/.  One reason it is
probably not online is that it is a large manual, 291 pages.

Bills (NJ7P) Ham Radio Server:
http://www.nj7p.org/cgi-bin/millist2?name=MT-7a&mode=normal
references the MT-7A/ARR-2 in his database:

NJ7P's site has a wealth of information and some manuals online, but does
not appear to have the tech manuals in question.  (Unless I am just not
looking in the right place on his site.)

I can find no record of an MT-6 in the equipment table, just the MT-7A/ARR-2
Rack for one receiver, which mounted on the MT-5/ARR-2 (shock) Mounting
Base.
