RCA Victor M-104 (and M-108): The M-104 is a single-unit receiver; the M-108 has the reproducer separate from the set assembly. From antenna to reproducer, this car-radio receiver has been designed for interference-free operation without recourse to suppressors. The ground-end of the antenna coil, for instance, is not grounded directly at the receiver chassis, but is carried to a point on the car frame at which circulating noise currents do not become mutual to the receiver input; the R.F. transmission line favors broadcast signals and greatly attenuates interference fre-quencies. A self-rectifying, synchronous plug-in vibrator "B" unit is used. A tone- or speech-clarity control.

Radio Service Data Sheets

These schematics, tuning instructions, and other data are reproduced from my collection of vintage radio and electronics magazines. As back in the era, similar schematic and service info was available for purchase from sources such as SAMS Photofacts, but these printings were a no-cost bonus for readers. There are 227 Radio Service Data Sheets as of December 28, 2020.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
