2n2207 for 547 horizontal sweep and 3A1, 3A6 multivibrator


 

FYI
Had an issue with a recently acquired 3A6 - trace switching multivibrator
was inop. Contact cleaning and reseating the transistors did the trick. The
interesting part was that both transistors had been replaced with what appear to
be Motorola devices. They are labeled exactly as follows:

M151
0188

Haven't tried to source or cross them. Since they work in the 3A6 they might
do fine in the 547, also.
Would like to be copied on any follow-ups.

I'm new to this group, and I can't speak as an expert, but I had a 2N2207 go
bad in the multivibrator section of a 3A1 plugin from a 565 scope. I also
had trouble finding this transistor, so I tried a 2N404a and it has worked just
fine for the past 6 months. I don't know if the operating parameters are
more demanding in the sweep section of a 547, but it might be worth a try.
2N404a's were a lot easier to find
If an easy source for 2N2207's exists I'd like to hear about it also.
Hope this helps

Subject: [TekScopes] 2n2207 for 547 horizontal sweep.

The horizontal sweep on one of my 547 oscilloscopes died yesterday.
I've been able to diagnose the root cause as being a faulty 2N2207 PNP
transistor.

My question to the group is: where can I find some replacement
transistors. A quick search yielded American Microsemiconductor. But
the minimum $50 order is way overkill.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Sam

That is a Tek part number, 151-0188-xx, which is a 2N3906.
