[ARC5] R-27/ARC-5 Hookup Question

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Yes.  I didn't say pin 7 wasn't used or couldn't be used.  I just commented 
that it wasn't used in [normal] operation.  If you look at the wiring 
inside any vintage receiver rack, you will see that no wires go to pin 7 on the 
male connector(s).  During maintenance (which isn't operation) the test 
fixture plugs into the back of the receiver.  No connections are made to the 
three dynamotor pins.
