I am looking for technical information on the AN/ARN-92 LORAN-C/D navigation system, particularly for the sketches or photos of the cockpit control unit and display panels if they existed. This system was used, inter alia, on the F-4D, RF-4C and F-105D, and reportedly provided an approximate accuracy of +/- 60 feet, which was an outstanding result in the pre-GPS era. The system was stealthy contrary to TACAN.

How many waypoints could it store? Did it have keypad and LED display like the AN/ARN-101? While it represented the 1968 technology, was it all solid state and did it employ integrated circuits or magnetic-core memory? Could the system be supplemented by the AN/ASN-63 INS on the F-4D/E Phantoms in terms of achieving better accuracy?
 
It appears that the ARN-92 was depicted below in an F-105D cockpit.
