The AGC is, of course, applied to the IF valve & mixer G1. It is via 1M5 and 680K resistors respectively, which are within spec.

The only components that have not been tested thoroughly are the IF transformers and their padding caps, they are still sealed from the factory and the gain seems to be very good, not twiddled.
I avoid unnecessary alignment efforts, had too many cores fall off the carriers.

The set is cleaned, complete and finished with its extra component in place. It is working as well as every other example of this model I've done.

I've pondered and worked on it long enough.
