Villy Boor Boorelec Durban Would like to thank all who participated in my survey especially Al and D Punday To those who recon there is no price differential, where have you been Some are 10 times the price so using a 2SC1234 from Joes parts Store at $2 or the same 2SC1234 from Sony at $20 and the $20 job goes up in smoke under warranty, perhaps Sony bought there's from Joe. Thank you I have a family to feed, there is little enough profit in this job to hand it over to the manufacturers. I worked for a manufacturer for 24 years, Their cost for parts had little relationship to the part, They worked on a store box price, A box in the store made a profit of X so if you sold 2 parts from that box cost was part price plus X over 2 you aught to gave seen some of the prices, several hundred dollars for a 10C transistor. May I stress here I did not work for Sony so their foibles are a mystery to me.
