Yep, part of the ARC-21.  Used in subassembly O-180A / ARC-21, Radio
Frequency Oscillator.

Pin 1  Ground
Pin 2  Tube Heater (5840)
Pin 3  N.C.
Pin 4  Regulated 75 volts B+
Pin 5  Oscillator Assembly Heater (28 volts)
Pin 6  Test Point?  (5840 G1 bias monitor)
Pin 7  Oscillator output.

The usual "I promise to give them a good home, etc if you don't want
them." 8^)
