If i read ya correctly,,,then this is what ya want...
VR-10 Am carrier
VR-11 SSB ALC
if your gonna send the thing to Justin for a full setup,,,then to open AM audio,instead of cutting R-131 to open,,,,Just desolder the collector of TR-26,(thats the middle leg) and this way only the AM AMC will be affected,,,,and not the SSB ALC,,,so you will still have VR-11 functional for some ALC on Sideband...I as an avid sidebander,,,hate to hear one of those 148's when the wrong transistor is pulled and the ALC adjustment has no control,,,,,very nasty....wont make a difference on AM but on sideband its a night and day difference...
ALso if ya drop the carrier down to run an amp,,,it wont have much swing unless further mods are done...
Hope this is the info ya wanted,,,if ya need more let me know...

Cheers
