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 960282-4 or 960282-5, 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 early production version uses chassis RC-1096. The late production version uses chassis RC-1096B, which has different values of C21, R20 in the volume control circuit and different values of C42, C44 in the output circuit. The late production model also uses the 960284-1 or 960284-2 record changer in place of the 960282-4 or 960282-5 record changer.
The chassis and schematic used for RCA model A101 is also used in RCA model A108.
