Hi,
I'm posting the question here as it's prurely related to solid state circuitry and not tape itself.
I'm repairing an old Akai GX-600D PRO (2 track) recorder.
The schematic below shows a 2SD360 NPN transistor right after the diode bridge. This transistor was replaced by a TIP42B (same pinout, but... PNP).
Of course the TIP42B is B-C shorted and the 24V zener diode open.
The WZ-240 zener diode will be replaced by a 1N5252 (24V 500mW).
The rectifier diodes will be replaced by 1N5404G (they test ok but for safety purposes they don't cost much to replace).
What I'd like to know is what would best replace the 2SD360.
I could put a KSC2073 which I have in stock, or I can order a TIP48 which I have seen used on very similar Akai models. From the schematic it seems that quite a number of references would replace the 2SD360. What do you think ?
Finally, there are a number of R+C networks (where C is 0.1µF at 250Vac and R is 120 ohms).
Is there a known direct replacement or would I rather opt for separate components ?
Thanks,
David
