Onkyo 1010A (production years not documented)
Not much is documented about the Onkyo 1010A. Most of what the record shows comes from a period specification table in High Fidelity (1981, p.183), which describes a fully automatic belt-drive turntable:
- Belt drive, fully automatic operation
- Speeds 33⅓ and 45 rpm; speed adjustment ±3%
- DC motor with PLL quartz speed control
- Tracking force adjustable 0–3.5 g; cueing provided
- Rumble −67 dB (DIN B-weighted); wow/flutter 0.05% (WRMS)
Onkyo's own advertising for its new turntables at the time, in Audio (March 1979, p.61), pushed computer-aided design and a straight, low-mass tonearm for best possible performance with the features buyers wanted. Whether the 1010A carried that arm is not confirmed in surviving documents. Production years, original price, and any deeper review commentary haven't surfaced. It remains an obscure corner of Onkyo's late-1970s/early-1980s belt-drive turntable lineup.
