I have a piece of tab in front of me from 1990 which clearly show the use of pedals 5 and 7 together.
I have asked this before but am no wiser - how on earth does one do that without using two feet on the pedals?

Simple answer: YOU DON'T
Two feet on the pedals is a common practice on C6. My buddy Frank Rogers, one of the best C6 players on the planet, pushes the volume pedal aside when playing C6.
There are useful pedal combinations that are impossible using the standard pedal setup, if you don't use both feet.

Pedals 5,7 and pedals 5,6,7 combos are used all the time. You can either leave the volume at one level or move your foot on and off it as needed. It's not really a big deal if you practice it a bit. Look at how organ players move their feet all over the place. I've got some tabs on my website that show these combinatins and one to post soon that uses 5,6,7 together.

Hi Clive

it is at 2 minutes 34 seconds into the video clip.
