    Scott A436 transistor replacement

    Hello, I've been putting my hands inside a Scott A-436 lately. After replacing all capacitors, I checked for bias according to the service manual instructions. (https://retronik.silicium.org/DOCUMENTS/Audiovideo/Scott/Scott-A-416-A-426-A-436-Service-Manual.pdf). When I checked for the 0.2 mA DC...

    Need Help Finding replacements Transistors for Pioneer SA-3000

    So this amp finally burned up one of the output transistors on the left channel and since it has been repaired at least 5 times in the last 2-3 years by a 3rd party with who knows what quality replacements we decided to just buy the parts ourselves and change all 4 output transistors and all 4...

    Transistor, diode, IC sub lists from Mcintosh

    While seeking output subs for a MA6200 I was sent these pdf's for substitutes. I only saw pre-1975 docs online. These should cover later. I didn't see this in my searches so I asked them if they had docs. Sorry if this is a duplicate. PDF's attached.

    Pioneer SA-7500 II power stage - transistors replacement

    Hi guys, I'm (since yesterday) the proud owner of a "Pioneer SA-7500 II". The face plate and general condition is really good, but it doesn't sound fine. The left Channel is dead and the right has a lot of "hiss" (like white noise), so I opened. Inside I found that the right channel was...

    Pioneer SA-7500 Replacement transistors: guidance/troubleshooting

    I have a pioneer SA-7500 that refuses to dc bias, and i believe i know the source of the issue. I was swapping out capacitors and transistors, as provided in an ebay kit (i know... first project like this and i didn't know better), and everything works, dc bias's perfectly, however, the lowest...

    2SC1649 Transistor equivalent

    Good morning all, hope you are all well. I have been looking at an equivalent transistor for a 2SC1649 and am finding some conflicting types. I researched and found a 2SC2632 and have also been informed that a KSC1845 will do the job. After researching the KSC1845 I found the hfe and the (pc)...

    Realistic STA-18 Transistor Replacements

    I have a Realistic STA-18 receiver I was given by a friend that I'd like to repair. The transistors in the amp board are T1S92's, T1S93's, and T1S97's. Would it be a bad idea to replace these with KSA1845's, KSA992's, and KSA1845's respectively? Are the any better modern replacements for these...

    Pioneer Transistor replacement

    hello! I just got a new piece of gear for my collection, a pioneer sa-710. Got for a nice price because the seller told me it didn't work and wasn't able to repair it. I have some knowledge on electronics so I took it as my project to repair it. I already found the replacements for the burn...

    Transistor identification question?

    I have a NAD receiver that while in the schematic shows a particular transistor with one identifier, the label on the part shows something different. Are these two functionally equivalent/interchangeable or is this a problem with the service manual being different then production?

    Best Replacement for C869 transistors in Circuit Protection for SA-7100

    So I ordered a bunch of caps and transistors a while back for a Pioneer SA-7100 amp. I had been putting off the cap job for a while until it recently started to have circuit protection issues. I had generated my parts list from the service manual, but when it came time to dig into the amp and...
