Techs,
I believe ECG, NTE, and the others have been doing this for years. In my
opinion, not really that bad. Find a transistor that will sub for a
number of transistors, buy it, label it with a replacement number, and
charge double or triple the price of the generic.
Many of us have done this in reverse, at least for testing purposes.
Cross a transistor you don't have in stock to NTE, pull out the Danbani
catalog, and reverse cross to a generic you may have in stock. Over
time, you can build your inventory with 95% of the transistors you ever
need.
