One of the Surplus Radio Perversion Manuals, I think Volume
3, has a short article about how to add an AVC circuit to
the SCR-274N and ARA receivers.  Simple but effective, and
reversible if need be.  It does not require major work.

However, my experience with the SCR-274 and ARA does not
lead me to think it's all that necessary.

     AVC voltage should be available from the detector.
Since these receivers were used for radio-range and perhaps
also for direction finding the variation in signal strength
may have been important to preserve, hense no AVC.  I think
they were designed with a specific function or application
in mind and to be as fool proof as possible.
