Some G08 FAQ updates . . .

I've sent Mark Jenison some updates for the G08 FAQ. I've documented all the
parts that are on the solder-side of the HV board, and suggest adding a
reminder that the input protection board doesn't have part IDs screened on
it.

I also discovered that, should you break the emitter pin off one of the
MPSU60's -- that would be the pin with the red wire soldered directly to it
-- the metal case tab is the emitter, and you can solder the red wire
directly there just fine.

For power transistors, my G08 has two 2N6259's and two MJ15022's . The FAQ
doesn't mention MJ15022s, and the list archives have 2 mentions of them (and
the MJ15024, an even heavier duty version). Both are basically questions from
people who tried them and they seemed to work. I guess I would be number
three. Specs on the MJ look as good or better than the 6259, but perhaps we
could get a "final ruling" (Rodger ?:-) on the MJ15022/4 being a suitable
replacement for the discontinued 6259.

Mouser, incidently, doesn't carry the MJ and recommends the NTE388 at $7.50
each. DigiKey carries the 15022 and 15024 at $3.75 each.
