Hi Marty,

I even have this ARN 7 to MN 62 conversion paperwork (mimeographed, remember 
that copy process?).  It was about 9 pages of step by step instructions on how 
to do the conversion, stuffed into the back of an NOS ARN 7 manual I bought 
in the 1960s from Propagation Products, the outfit that used to advertise mil 
electronics manuals in all the ham publications. 

I also have some 50s airliner manuals that show civil ART 13 and BC 348 HF 
gear on UAL and Pan AM airliners with civil tags on them. There must have been 
some industry which made a business out of converting surplus gear into 
airliner FAA acceptable avionics. I talked with a Pan Am pilot who said they had R 65 
APN 9 Loran A rcvrs in the early 707 JETS!!! There was even one on display at 
the hard to find but worth seeing airline history museum at SFO, spray 
painted gold as a retirement gift to a Pan Am capt.

73,
Mark
