Then I'm off to the recycling place tomorrow :-)

Let's call it dutch wiring then

Seriously: the dutch NEN1010 is the basis of many EU regulations.

The Dutch are not bad at darts as well--

I prefer TO-247 or 263 transistors to replace TO3. Unless I have a heatsink already drilled for TO3. Drilling 4 holes accurately with my hand motor is not doable, IMHO. The plastic packages require 1 hole. Salvage motor drive or flat screen tv heat sinks will be pre-drilled for TO-247 or TO-263. Probably with long life silicon rubber pads already stuck to them.
The do-all of plastic output transistors is the MJL21193 pnp MJL21194 npn. Also avalable in prefix NJL and NJW and MJW, for reasons I can't determine from the datasheets. I use all four prefixes interchangeably, with .51 ohm emitter resistors to even current out.

Well, the electrical company had some stuff in the junk pile.
A good start I think.
I put a fuse for size comparison.

I'll check back regularly

kmj - those are nice sinks. Wish I could find some lying around here. Best of luck with the rebuild.
