The rack I saw was maybe 3/4 as long as an ARC-5 with 4x shockmounts
attached. There was no botton frame on the mounts. They were flopping

OPh, I just remembered, one of the three boxes on the ground had REAR
connectors, of the gold plated ARC type.

The Type 12 manual is fairly easy to get. Mine waas scanned, but I can no
longer access the scanned version.
