Hi all,

initialy I have problem similar of this topic : /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/beomaster-901-weak-fm

I change caps and some resistance and it's works BUT FM is not normal... 

As i have 2 Beomaster i can identify the guilty :)

In FM section, the Dual Gate MOFSET TR1 ( MPF120) doesn't work, i switch with the other beomaster 901 (who works fine)

So i need to change it but it seem not very common... in fact in my second beomaster it a RCA 605 40822 but same thing... i can't really find it.

Someone know with which parts i can change it ?

Thanks a lot :)

 

(soorry for my english, i'm french ! )

RCA 40822 can be found on Ebay

(I don't know and have never dealt with this seller).

MPF120 can also be found:

Thanks ,

For 40822  15€ for 2 

For MPF120 22€ for 1

i think it's too expensive.

there is no equivalent transistor more common i can use ?

You can buy the correct parts.
That's a good price, I think.

But of course, it's for you to decide.

Actually, I was surprised to find them on Ebay, so if you don't buy them, I could feel tempted, just to have them in the drawer.

Modern mosfets usually have a much higher gain, requiring a bit of circuit redesign, and it's rare to see dual-gates used today anyways.
But go ahead if you prefer, - take your time and look around for something with similar specs to the originals.
Do let us know if you find something.

Here on Ebay:
https://www.ebay.de/itm/402290096014

Not exactly cheaper...
I never tried that type, so I cannot say if it'll work. But you could try.
