Jim:
This may or may not help:  That same 7 pin socket was also used for dual
reed vibrators, like both GE and Motorola used back in the 50s and 60s,
as well as some Mil equipment.  If you can find one of those old beasts,
some of them had 2 vibrators.  Early GE Progress Line, and the
contemporary Motorola Twin V (for 2 vibrators) used them before
transistorized power supplies became available.
