  • Notes

  • The General Electric 101 is an AC/DC operated 5 tube BC band receiver.  The BC band frequency tuning range is 540 - 1600kHz. Has built-in loop antenna with provisions for connecting an external antenna.

    The following models use the same schematic and chassis but have different cabinets:

    Model Cabinet
    100 Brown Plastic
    101 Ivory Plastic
    103 Mahogany Wood
    105 Maple Wood

    Note: The following production changes were made on models having serial numbers of 5000 and above (Per Riders and Beitmans):

    a)   C18 connects between the output tube plate and screen instead of the plate and ground.
    b)   The plate and screen filter (C11, R6) is moved from the IF amplifier circuit to the converter plate and screen circuit.
    c)   The filament connections (pins 2 and 7) of the 12SA7 converter tube are interchanged.
