Good evening, Craig.
Uli, DK4SX, came up with the following mod a couple of months ago to solve that problem. I tried it in my winged-emblem 51S-1 and it works great.
"Connect the series combination of a non polarized 4.7 uF (microfarad) capacitor and a 10 kOhms resistor in parallel to R73 and C192. Do not alter those values or remove R73 and C192. They are needed for a correct and quick response in case of the beginning of speech syllables in ssb etc. Location is easily found on the parts photograph page 6-13 in the handbook."
Amazingly enough, I was able to find a 4.7-uF non-polarized capacitor at the local Radio Shack. Wonders never cease.
Note that you only want to lengthen the decay time, not the attack time.

I have a mid-1973 RE 51S-1 and it works great but the AGC time constant is
very fast which is great for digital modes but not SSB. Is there a mod out
there for lengthening the AGC attack and decay times?
