sour note.... seems feasible to replace those transistors with the TI equivalents like the tip120, only has to reverse the leads since their pinout is different, something like TIP120 ECB while the old mje1100 is BCE... hardly hard to do...the tip's run for $ 0.69 locally at BG MICRO... this I just found out last night... wish I had known before you spend your money there...sorry... :(

oh, i'd never TOSS it. but with the mje1100's running $30/pop, its not
something i think is sensible to sink a bunch of money into. i'll
definitely hold onto it, just not sure how much use i'll get out of
it, assuming the new PSU tunes up fine and works.
