I’m finally on the last leg of re-capping the 1030’s P700 amp board, work has kept me away most of the time. I have a few questions I could use some help with
1) There are ten transistors on this board, since this board is a bit of a hassle to take in and out because of the two diodes that are attached to the heat sink, that aren’t made anymore (and don’t want to break) do you think I should replace those transistors since the board is out? If so…
2) This is my first experience with looking up parts on Mouser electronics and I am having a hard time finding equivalent replacements for these transistors, I found H701 & H702, these are 2sc945 O R... what does the O R denote?
I cannot find replacements on Mouser for H705, H706 these are 2sc371 O
Cannot find H707, H708 these are 2sa562 O what does the O denote?
Cannot find H703, H704, these are 2sc853 M.L once again what does M.L denote?
3) Because the two diodes that are attached to the heat sink are old and brittle and I don’t want to handle them too much is it ok to just attach the output transistors to the wires, not use the heat sink just to fire up the unit and verify that everything works? I have a variac with an ammeter and a light bulb tester
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
