Cool! I HAVE two ARN-7s! Gee, maybe I can hook one of them up. 
Trouble is, I sold my LP-21 to a B-24 restoration group in Poland. 
Besides, I don't know if I have a manual for the ARN-7...

I went back and looked at it again and it looks like the third band is on 
top of the bandswitch, with one on either side.

Oh, sure, that makes sense, considering where it came from!

I think getting one of the ARN-7s running would be a hoot! :-)
