Finned swordfish of 3s at r2c68, r5c38, r6c8, r9c36 => -3 r5c7; stte
or slightly simpler:
(3)r1c7 = r1c4 - r2c6 = r9c6 - r9c3 = r5c3 => -3 r5c7

Phil beat me to the punch with the obvious solution, and I don't think I'll find anything that is not just a more complex version of the same. Looking forward to seeing if someone does find something that doesn't revolve around those 3s! I'll sit this one out.
