Hi all, I hope I'm posting this in an ok place. I'm repairing a monitor and have located a bad transistor which cross references to part# NTE290A. Our local Fry's Electronics tells me this is no longer available. I have found it online but was hoping to get it working tomorrow and have exhausted my options of local places to find this. So my question is....is there a way to easily determine if there is another compatible transistor that would slide into that spot? Or is it likely that I must find this EXACT replacement? If so I can order one....just was reeeeally hoping to get the project moving!
Thanks for your help!
Actually the original part# listed in the schematics is 2SA673(C).
