Mitsubishi A-01 (listed in period literature as M-A01)
Not much is documented about the Mitsubishi A-01. Even the model number is a small puzzle, since surviving period print lists it as the M-A01.
The one solid reference is an equipment profile in Audio (January 1980, p.84). It groups the M-A01 as the amplifier in Mitsubishi's "Micros" equipment line, alongside the M-F01 stereo FM tuner and the M-P01 preamp. The profile carried manufacturer's specifications, but the preserved portion covers the companion M-F01 tuner instead of the amplifier: usable sensitivity 11.2 dBf mono, S/N 80 dB mono, THD 0.08 percent. No power rating, dimensions, original price or production years for the A-01 are documented in the record we have.
So all that's confirmed is a Mitsubishi Micro-series amplifier, in print from January 1980, with its own technical details lost. Anyone who owns one and can read the rear panel would fill a real gap.
