So I have been working (again) on the BOM to restore my SX-850. I first did this 2 years ago when I picked it up from an Estate sale, but other events got in my way, and the project was shelved.
Since then about 18 parts have gone obsolete. I have read countless posts from others who have done this exact same thing, and found about half of the updated parts.
I am going to post my fairly complete list of parts, including all the extras (Thermal Paste, insulators, Trimmers) Even including transistors not normally changed. This is in the hopes of getting a complete "In Stock" BOM.
I realize some of these transistors aren't part of other lists, but nearly every rebuild post I've read involves locating some Transistor that is noisy or not functional. At 15-30 cents per transistor, I'm just going to get them all and save myself the hassle.
Some of the transistors have alternates on Mouser, but I've read that they are not always the best choice.
I usually enjoy working with tubes, and I only plan on restoring 3 Solid State receivers, and I only want to do them once. One for me, one for my Dad, and one for my Son.
Thanks for the help, and when I am done, pending everyone's approval, I will submit it to replace the older BOM from 2011.
