[ARC5] ARN-6 in F-80 and F-86D

[J. Forster]

I had a 12 VDC MN-26 w/ the Automatic Loop Controller (MN-31? MN-36?)
installed in my Austin Westminster as a freshman in the early 1960s. It
had all the bits, including proper connectors and RCAF junction box.
Worked very nicely.

Sadly, my late dad convinced me to sell the 'obsolete junk' along with the
car a couple of years later. I'm sure it got scrapped.
