![]() ![]() Thanks to several editors and contributors: If you just want to nit pick without adding constructively to this, please do so in a private message so this thread has the best signal-to-noise ratio… for the benefit of the AK’ers who haven’t been doing this as long as you have. ![]() I will happily correct or add to this guide and my own knowledge… when shown my errors in a polite and constructive manner. More-knowledgeable AK’ers are welcome, even encouraged, to point out where I have gotten or stated something wrong. This is merely background info, what I use to find replacements, laid out so less-experienced AK’ers have more information when looking for transistor replacements. There are other threads like this one already on AK (see list below) and none of them had all the tricks I’ve learned and few of them were pedestrian or explanatory enough that *I* might pick up everything being said, so here is my go at “how to find….” This simplistic guide is intended to share some of the how one can look for and find the best replacement transistors… and get better over time as others add to or correct what is already gathered here. I follow the process I’ve cobbled together and picked up from other AK’ers, share my results… and then get asked “how did you determine that result (so I can apply the same process and not have to ask people next time)”. One of the most-often asked questions is “what is a good replacement for transistor XXnnnn”. But these replies get buried in threads that are narrowly focused on a single piece of gear… and therefore provide benefit only to a few people. My replies are mostly basic, sometimes flawed, but always intended to be helpful. That’s a laugh in itself as I’m just a hobbyist, but I’m happy to help where I can. AK has been a wonderful place for me to learn about electronics and vintage audio gear repair and now I find myself answering “how to” questions frequently. ![]()
