Accuphase 100-AM
Almost nothing is documented about the Accuphase 100-AM. The model shows up in a single period equipment listing, and beyond that the record is blank. What little exists suggests it was a tuner, or possibly a tuner variant. Even that is not entirely certain from the surviving source material.
The one known reference is HiFI-Stereo (1979, p.67). It lists the Accuphase 100-AM at 164 mm high, 434 mm wide and 40 mm deep. The price is $480, with a pewter front panel variant at $800. The same listing gives signal-to-noise figures of 70 dB in mono and 65 dB in stereo at 65 dBf, which fits FM tuner performance of the period. It is unclear from the OCR-quality scan whether the "100-AM" is a distinct model or shorthand for the T-100 AM-FM tuner, which is listed immediately after it in the same entry.
No other specifications, production years, circuit details or user documentation for this model have surfaced in any known source. The Archive would welcome a manual, a review or a photograph.
