May 10, 20215 yr Having a hard time sourcing 47uf 16 VDC capacitor in 3.5mm case for the GR78/79xx built anyone have any spares? I need 4 https://canada.newark.com/vishay/tmcmb1c476mtrf/surface-mount-tantalum-capacitor/dp/56Y0110?ost=tmcmb1c476mtrf
June 2, 20215 yr Guys, I need to replace a Hall effect sensor (HA 305 503) but I'm finding it outdated. Please can you help me find an alternative? The supply voltage must be max 5Vdc (for use with USB) Edited June 3, 20215 yr by jose

I am building a "collective control" (for a helicopter simulator) and I need one hall effect sensor for one of the movements. I already have a raspberry-pi as a controller but in several schemes that I have seen they use the HA503.
June 3, 20215 yr heads up, more parts (this time SMD) being deleted the 2sc3324 is going the way of the dodo - both the BL and GR grades. its used in joamats mini T2 mouser has plenty of stock of BL but no GR radio spares no stock farnell no stock digikey no stock of BL grade. but has stock of GR grade MMBT5962 is also going. Its used in Mr Carlsons capacitor leakage tester... mouser no stock digikey no stock farnell 3 left in stock radio spares has stock Edited June 3, 20215 yr by jamesmking

Are you just looking for a binary “yes” or “no”? In which case you might also want to use a comparator. I can post the schematic and board files for what I did, which also supports an optical sensor.
June 3, 20215 yr Yes, I suppose it could work. I'm doing something like These. The guys that I fly, have found this and that seems to work. It handbreke already has an arduino and a Hall sensor

June 12, 20215 yr Hi. I am searching for 2SA1468 and 2SK246-GR There are only 5 pcs on the bdent ( Could I replace them in the original T2 scheme (I already have PCBs) without lowering sound quality ? 2SA1468 -> 2SA1968 | 2SA1413 ? Or maybe just someone knows where could I buy them ? Or what device should I destroy to get them ? No, really - I don't afraid used, but original transistors 🙂 I just a little desperate to find at least a little reliable source of these transistors 😞 Thanks!
June 13, 20215 yr Sorry, don't know where to find either, but in general, for any of the designs using old silicon, it is a good idea to source all of the silicon, or at least make sure you can, before investing in PCBs, etc.

This is why I chose to build a modern T2 - which I can highly recommend, I have not compared it to an original T2 but at least I know I all the transistors are from mouser with the exception of the 2sk216 and 2SJ79 which I sourced from a reliable forum member. I know members who have built an original T2 had issues and lost hundreds of $ in burnt NOS transistors... for me the modern T2 makes more economic and practical sense.

I know about fakes and try to buy all silicon from trusted sources - forum members, bdent etc. Anyway, thanks for the advice! I also would test all the transistors before use them, and not only test for breakdown voltage, but build curves, measure capacitance, etc. I would not allow my NOS transistors to burn 🙂 Why don't I build modern version of T2? Because I already have many rare components and I believe that I could find necessary components or replace them with something similar.

June 13, 20215 yr Anyone has 1x MJW21194G (or MJW21196) on pile? I have ordered some from Mouser, but they are shipping them end of Jan 2022, which is radiculous. Looking for 2x KSP42BU as well (or MPSA42). Thanks a lot. Edited June 14, 20215 yr by starcat
June 14, 20215 yr https://diyaudiocart.com/ON-Semiconductor-Bipolar-Transistors-BJT-16A-250V-200W-NPN Is it a reliable source?
June 14, 20215 yr Sourcing of currently manufactured semiconductors, even from OnSemi and other mainstream manufacturers, is log-jammed. This is a result of the perfect storm of Covid causing lines to be mothballed and then restarted and qualified, supply of the raft of chemicals needed, and similar problems Covid issues in the global distribution chain. Even vanilla parts are now out at end 21 early 22 delivery. And if you are going to build a PC - forget it. Processor chips have dried up as bulk users have stocked up (PC and automotive manufacturers mainly, but also smart phones and TVs). If you can buy one expect five times or more the nominal price. And pre-covid, particularly ceramic surface mount parts were on insane lead times, now even more insane. It will get better. From the end of this year onward supply ought to improve.
