Also, since this was an OEM part packed in bulk for assembly companies, it is extremely hard to find anyone that will sell less than 1000 an order. Or maybe they have a $100 minimum order policy, etc. I think the original cost for each in bulk is like eight cents. So, what you need to do is cross-reference this part and find a suitable replacement. Since I have a bit of time right now, I ran a cross-reference for you, and this is the part you need: http://www.web-tronics.com/nte48.html Here is the PDF for specs: http://www.nteinc.com/specs/10to99/pdf/nte48.pdf |

Gold Member Username: Thomas_gNM Post Number: 2065 Registered: Oct-05 | Wow thanx for your help guys because i know nothing about transistors and stuff. So do you think i could replace that transistor i wanna use with that one that you posted?? Would it work?? Thanx. Andrew did you make that simple amp too?? |

I went all the way through checkout with just one, but shipping might be fierce. Better than having to buy 1000 of them though... |
