It's true..They work just fine "stock"...
I got several requests about the system TX/TX/Control interconnects in the system I built.  So yesterday I added a sketch down at the bottom of my article to show that.  No cutting required!  https://www.n6cc.com/type-12-vhf-am-aircraft-system/
Robert:  The Manual shows which wires were installed at the factory when changing the filament supply voltage design between 12/24V primary.  Similar process as in an ARC-5 receiver.

Have fun!
