Replacement transistors

[Cro maniac]

Hi everyone,

I'm in a process of repairing a vintage Saba CI310 integrated amplifier with burned outputs. It uses 2SC1827/2SA769 as an output pair (TO220 BJT's) which seem to be obsolete. Can someone recommend a modern (obtainable) replacement for them ?

Thanks,
Dudo

Hi,

I would give a try to any of the MJE150xx family.

FJP5200/1943. Same transistor die as the more powerful package but used in a TO-220 with power derated to 80 watts for the smaller package. Cost much less as well. Gain is nearly flat in the current range your amp would use.

That would be ideal for a multi-parallel output stage that gives a high level of ClassA current from a optimal bias triple EF.
Try 5pairs of 80W devices into 0r1 emitter resistors.
Bias to ~190mA each for a maximum ClassA output current of ~1.9A (=14W of ClassA into 8ohms) and a maximum output power of 160W into 8ohms from a 40-0-40Vac transformer.

Thank you guys

I put MJE15030/MJE15031 in as I could buy them in my neighborhood and it is singing again . With new transistors it was biased too high so I replaced one resistor in biasing circuit with multiturn trimmer which I had in my drawer and biased it to current level of the other channel.
