Just a word of warning - clone board builders

2011-01-14 by y964omw

Hi,

Just had a clone board in which the constructor was having problems with the MG circuitry. Warning! Do not be tempted to use transistor types 2SA733 (as stated in the service manual) in positions T2 and T4. The foil layout of the board was designed for a 2N3906 which is electrically equivalent, but has it's base and collector legs swapped. If in doubt consult the data sheets for these devices before soldering them in or download the 'official' parts list from Jed's site.

Regards,
Andy
