Output transistor sources and substitutes?
« on: September 10, 2006, 11:30:42 am »
Hi I'm pretty new to sunn equipment, but I am helping a friend with a beta lead that has bad output transistors.

   3055 and 3056 are the numbers.  Does anyone know what usable substitutes are for these, or a good source for originals?  I have a couple wurlitzer solid state organs I've been stripping that have similar output transistors, but I don't have a schematic for these organs.  The wurlitzer transistors are labeled:
Texas instruments
 gp1291
652085
6822A

This may be a ridiculous and dangerous question, but the only reason I'm asking it is because of the amount of acceptable substitutions for pnp transistors on farfisa organs that have been approved due to the scarcity of the original raytheon germanium parts.

ps- this website is a great resource.  Thanks for participating.

2N3055 and it's pnp brother the 2N3056 are pretty common. Even Radio Shack carries them.  It sounds like your friend's output transistors have already been replaced at least once.

Can't help you with those other numbers.

Thanks joe,
  I'm not used to dealing with such easily accessible transistors.
