Re: looking for a transistor

John:

Just because its been discontinued by ECG doesn't mean you can't get it. Try
Allied or Newark electronics or any other big electronics parts supplier.
The fact that it was made up to 2 years ago increases your chances of
finding it.

Check out the package outline in the ECG book. You can easily build this
circuit on a small breadboard (use PNP transistors with the right band pass
although 2N3906'S will probably work fine in the audio range). Cut out the
chip leaving the pins in the circuit. Solder your new hybrid (using
telephone wire or real high gage wire) to the approriate pins and RTV it to
the original circuit board. If you've got a good solder sucker and the right
tools it's better to completely remove the old IC and solder your extension
wires right to the appropriate lands on the board (you probably could do
this anyway if you planned to swap chips). 

Good luck!
