[sdiy] Japanese pairs seem gone...

[Aaron Lanterman]

I ordered a bunch of 2SC1583s from Limor for my students to play with - 
but I since that's the only source I found think I should suggest that 
they use them for testing and comparing against other transistor pairs and 
building existing designs, and shy away from them in their new designs.

Similarly - RF Parts advertised 2SA798s - but they said they're out and 
not expecting another shipment in 30 days, so I told them to just cancel

I could find 2SC1349 or 2SC3381 anywhere.

NTE has these replacements...

2SA798 rep - NTE43 $1.98
2SC1583 rep - NTE42 $1.84

I have a couple of each on order to test.

I need to contact THAT and find out about their 300 series.

Are there any stashes of the 2SC/2SA stuff that I'm overlooking? Because 
if not, I think I should generally steer the students away from them.

There seem to be pleanty of CA3046 and CA3083 still available...
