  • Notes

  • The RCA T-1EN is a battery operated 6 transistor portable AM receiver.  The AM frequency tuning range is 540 to 1600kHz.  Uses Qty(3) 1.5V "C" size batteries.  Has built-in ferrite antenna and push-pull output stage that drives the speaker.  The speaker has a 130 ohm input impedance and is connected directly to the output stage.  Has earphone jack that disconnects the speaker for private listening.  The earphone is connected to the AF amplifier output (before the push-pull output stage).

    The following models use the same schematic and cabinet but have different cabinet colors:
