Some shops Cross/Cross reference. Taking an ECG/NTE replacement and trying to cross reference to something they may have had in stock. -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx teltek@xxxxxxxxx "Learn from past mistakes.Or you are bound to repeat them" On Oct 04, 2005, at 9:02 PM, David Lessard wrote: > Hello, > Are there any cross references to HOT in CTC169A/B chassis. > Transistor is marked C1308K - crosses to a NTE238 or should I be > using an original or OEM part for this? > > Thanks in advance, > David Lessard > mr_fixit@xxxxxxxxxxxx > Alexandria, Ontario, Canada > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > ------- > This Email List is accessible to the general public through search > engines.
