Transistor help needed
Posted: Sun Oct 30, 2016 8:26 am
Hello again Gentlemen.
(and Ladies - should there be any !)
Right. I have started the tiger 1 (early HL) turret corrections.
Cupola reposition sorted - check!
Hatch stop fitted - check!
Pistol port re-orientated - check!
Whilst turning the Mantlet to the correct way up, during it's rebuild, the tiny inline transistor, connected to the larger of the two L.E.d.'s has broken off, flush with it's body.
(yes-it's Kaput ! it won't solder - I tried. It's totally frazzled now anyway !) Could anyone tell me what the values should be for this item, so I can buy a replacement please.
(The colour bands were/ are unreadable on mine - so I'd no way of I.D.-ing it.
Had they been readable, I wouldn't have bothered to attempt a repair - and would have simply bought another and replaced it anyway.
So the transistor has now gone from a light grey, with illegible markings, to a burned brown, with no markings !) If I can find out what it should be - I'll order a replacement, I just didn't want to guess, and bust/ overload anything else.
As always - your advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Gazbo.
