All five sets have the same gain control circuit.  And in fact, all five 
sets have the same AGC line.  But it is connected to the 2nd diode in the 
12SR7 only in AN.ARC-5.  In the other four models, that diode is grounded and 
nothing is connected to the AGC line.  And the two .05 ufd and three 1/2 meg 
of the decoupling network are not present.
