Not if you look at the price of Sony HOT's. For example, C4927 is $28.00 from Sony, and the exact same looking part from Main is $4. It is even cheaper in a kit from global that replaces the Hot, 2 P/S transistors and the 0.1 ohm resistor. They have worked well for me. Modifications are a different matter of course.

Wouldn't it be about the same price to replace with the correct part? Modifications put you in a responsible position .
