BM8000 transistor substitution

4 replies
I am compiling my order to rebuild the damaged Module 5 in the Beomaster 8000. I am having a difficult time finding the transistor "BF857", predriver. The SM also lists the BD849, but it's not coming up either. Is there a good *available* substitute?

Use BF759

Thanks for the response, but no one has that either. My sources are Digikey, Mouser, and MCM. I can source an NTE part locally, NTE171, but I've been advised to stay clear of NTE parts.

I found a BF859 at MCM, should be a drop-in replacement...AFAIK
