PV8 in need of transistors
PV8 in need of transistors
It turns out that the PV8 I just acquired needs all new transistors. Can you direct me to what brand would be good to use to replace?
Re: PV8 in need of transistors
First, welcome to CJO, great to have you with us! And congrats on acquiring a PV8.
Not a lot of people replace the transistors, usually it's the caps that tend to go with age. Are there any markings that identify what source the originals were from? May I ask how you came to the conclusion how "all new transistors" were needed to be replaced?

Re: PV8 in need of transistors
I had a loud hum when I first tried to use it. I took it to my tech and he said the transistors were bad...
