SA-10
Commentary

FM/AM receiver with front-end FET.

FET is used in the front end of the FM tuner to achieve stable reception with less noise.

The SA-10 uses silicon transistors manufactured by Toshiba on the front.

Light is mounted on the dial face.

SEPP-p-OTL circuit is used for the power amplifier.

Wood cabinet is adopted.

Equipped with high / low filter and loudness control.

Equipped with an FM stereo indicator and an AFC switch for stable reception of FM broadcasts.

Ferrite antenna for AM is mounted.
