What low cost transistors do you have in stock? the Buh517 is rated peak inverse at 1700v, 700v forward, 10v base, 8A continous 15A surge. My personal favorate for subbing is a 2sd1880, yes I know it has a damper and the BUH517 does not but, and this has been discused to death, they will generally work, at least for a while, have used them where in sets that used the BUH517 before without callbacks, another other possibilty could be the 2SC5148, although I've never tried it, used in sony and some of the CTC203's, just a few ideas.

I have a nice selection of generac HOTs. What would make a nice sub for testing at least until the set is fixed then I can install the oem HOT... Unless anyone knows a good permanent one for less $$$? (NTE cross shows it's a NTE2637) Phil Bader -- Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc. (estab. 1976) 3420 Recker Hwy.
