Do these look right on this page? They are expensive and require a 10 piece minimum on each trans, but if i need them, i need them.

Thank you for the help. You taught me a lot. I just hope that when these 4 trans go in, the problem is solved. If not, i think I will seriously give up

ed12 · « **Reply #212 on:** November 06, 2013, 10:45:43 pm »

before we pop in the new outputs
we just need to do a few tests
protcol calls for it to happen
do not forget the fuses either
your total cost should be about 25.00 plus del.

they just add "G" to the part number to identify that it's a lead free package.

EU nations don't allow lead in products. everything that makes up a product must be all lead free. that includes solder, the tinned legs on IC chips etc.

kinda funny, when you used to buy a pinball machine in north america, it had a nice orange vacuum plasma display. but because they had lead in them, in europe, they used a red LED matrix instead. course now, they all do.

I got ya guys. I really hope it was my transers

ed12 · « **Reply #216 on:** November 06, 2013, 11:43:32 pm »

in light of no light
we will do a final :drive test: without the outputs in
then we will hook up our lights to the output side with the finals in
and do a fast test..
if it passes ? we will make sure u are tied into the output transformers right
and pass around the beer for me and high fives for u..i think shawn
is on to scotch?

Well, I went ahead and bought 4 of each for a total of 8 transistors. This way i have spares.

amandandme197 · « **Reply #219 on:** November 13, 2013, 10:04:56 pm »

Finally got my transistors and fuses.

ed12 · « **Reply #220 on:** November 13, 2013, 10:24:48 pm »

ok great

tonight how ever do me a fav and just sit with them..
reason is i am beat...
if u want to do a chk ?..which i am up to
hook your probes to ground >black lead< and go to the output stage >transistors<
WITHOUT THEM IN....with your lights hooked up as fuses as u did before..
go to your >dc< range..lowest should be about 1x or 100v
and power the amp up and record the base drive voltage
there is to termanils 1 is emmitor the other is base
we want the base drive voltage..
record these..most important...
if they are right..we can deduce the drivers are working right or wrong..
there will be NO input singal at this time...
it is called :amp-idel:..
from there we can if all is right tie in the finals and new fuses
do a load test with the lights.. and audio
u will get the reason for that after these short tests
