Hello Again
                   Update-- As you all probably guessed the SK Replacements
sold to me by Tritronics as replacements for 2SC3281 and 2sa1302  ARE
COUNTERFEIT (they blew after 2 min). I can understand if the transistors
came in one of those see through zipper bags, but these have SK on the
sealed bag. Attention Kevin, perhaps you should stop saying the SK brand
will replace the above transistors, because when I reported that I was going
to replace the transistors again on the good side, I could almost hear the
collective sigh of everyone on this form as they we saying , don't do that,
they will blow. How come almost every tech knows that they will not sub but
tritronics does not?

> Hello Everyone,
>                         A Fisher RS-914A amp came in the shop today with
blown outputs (2SA1302 & 2SC3281) , looked up my inventory and I have
several original # is SK's in stock-- After making sure nothing else was
wrong with that channel, I installed the SK's ( the writing was a little
different in contrast on the front of the SK transistors but everything else
look ok). After running for 5 min at low volume they blew. Now I'm thinking
these are counterfeit transistors disguised as SK, but in all fairness I
will try putting the transistors from the other good channel to the bad side
and install  ANOTHER set of SK's in the good side and see what happens. To
be continued--
