  • Notes

  • The RCA A101 is an AC operated combination automatic phonograph and BC/FM band receiver.  Has both a 45 RPM turntable and a 33 1/3, 78 RPM turntable.  The 45 RPM turntable used is model RP-190-2, which holds up to ten 7 inch fine groove records.  The 33 1/3, 78 RPM turntable used in this model is 960284-1 or 960284-2, which hold up to ten 12 inch or twelve 10 inch records. Has push-pull output stage.  Has built-in AM and FM antenna's, with provision for connecting external AM and/or external FM antenna.

    The BC band frequency range is 540 to 1600kHz.  The FM band frequency range is 88 to 108MHz.  Uses Qty(3) #51 lamps, two for the dial and one for the jewel.

    This late production version uses chassis RC-1096B.  The early production version uses chassis RC-1096, which has different values of C21, R20 in the volume control circuit and different values of C42, C44 in the output circuit.  The early production model also uses the 960282-4 or 960282-5 record changer in place of the 960284-1 or 960284-2 record changer.

    The chassis and schematic used for RCA model A101 is also used in RCA model A108.
