Re: K6100 2n3792 replaced with 2n5876

good eye. I had assumed that we were talking npn to npn, so I suppose that the 3716 would be more appropriate, but still, I'll stick to my habit of always using an appropriate part. thx

2N3792 is PNP.
2N3055 is NPN.
Don't do it.

Don't do it for deflection would be my recommendation I suppose (although it works). It might be ok in the LV supply section as its a power transistor after all?

Just pony up and get the right thing :)

What are the implications of using 3055s? It never dawned on me to use these. I have a large supply of them and very short on 3792s.

thx

. I have even seen 2n3055's installed once, a mark of operator desperation to get it running i guess :)

All sorts of transistors will work, the 5876 I've seen quite a bit. I have even seen 2n3055's installed once, a mark of operator desperation to get it running i guess :)

Working on a monitor that was shoehorned into my Major Havoc (had to disassemble it in place to get the dang thing out).
 
Found that the 2n3792’s in the X and power sections had been replaced with 5876’s. Any thoughts?
