These are the same transistors that the WG Color deflection board uses. Has
anyone tried using TIP transistors? I know the pin outs are not identical,
the MPSs are EBC, and the TIPs are BEC (or CEB). But if you just bent and
twisted the leads...?
One can get TIPs very easily and they are easy to find in high enought
ratings, and they should be fast enough.
Any thoughts...? I might just "try" it and see what happens...
