I just did some experimenting with the AVC and found it's stays at around -0.3 volts no matter how I tune the dial.

I hooked up an external variable DC supply through a 1 Meg resistor and forced it to about -1.0 volts and the sound came booming through. It tops out at around -1.5 volts and going more negative has no noticeable effect.

Odd, I expected going more positive to increase the volume, but it seems to be the opposite.
