Transistors in the UK?
Permalink  

Eazy now,

My v847 had a burnt out capacitor after a gig the other day, and the guitar centre wanted to charge me £50 to repair it, so in response to this I purchased a soldering iron and such and put in a new capacitor myself and fixed the wah... But, the point being that the fuzz I have at the moment sucks upon many donkeys, so as I had to buy the tools anyway, I was thinking why not build my own axis face thing off of here, then I can show off to all my guitar playing friends too...

However, I can't seem to locate any parts supplier who will supply the transistors I would need for said axis face, as they are all based in the USA it seems, and they charge unbelievably high postage rates and also ask for a mastercard of visa credit card (which the majority of people in the UK tend to have debit cards, like myself).

So, my question, is this... where can I aquire transistors that will do the job in this axis face from within the UK? If possible, from the internet, so I don't have to leave my house, the outside world scares me...

Cheers,
-Adam

Try Banzai effects in Germany.


http://www.banzaieffects.com/index2.html


They have alot of the components, including matched germanium transistors, wah parts, etc.

Try http://hometown.aol.co.uk/oldradioparts/semiconductors.htm . He will supply gemanium and silicon transistors in as small a quantity as you want. Also www.rhselectronics.co.uk for silicon trannies and all other components including 3PDT switches. www.rapidelectronics.co.uk are also excellent. In an emergency you could try Maplins.

I have same problem (I live in Finland). I´m thinking about ordering the parts from banzai. They have matched pair of BC108 transistors. (specially for Si-FuzzFace) ...BUT...
-Are they as good as PN2369A and BD139?
-What is the use of getting matched pair, if in the schematics the transistors are different type anyway?
