Seems like the KSA1220ays trans is out of stock at DigiKey and Mouser. Latest info from Mouser (Jan 22) indicates a June delivery, which was pushed back from Feb. Not a good sign.

Anybody know a suitable equivalent replacement or another qualified source?

Application - driver for main power output trans., also switching in muting circuit during power up (on/off)
in Kenwood amps.

Thanks you guys!

I was actually going to post this. I can't understand how this can be out of stock for HALF A YEAR. There are infinite numbers of Chinese ones on eBay, and while I know all the caveats about buying Chinese parts on eBay, has anyone tried that?
 
Hello Milwaukee! We're not the only ones -
KSA1220 Transistor out of stock (Solid State forum)

Who knows - tariffs, Chinese economy, maybe even discontinued (EOL).

As for Chinese, that's up to you, but I think it's a crap shoot and I stay away. Too many horror stories. Vintage equipment isn't worth the risk, is it? I'll stick with quality every time.
