Summary[edit]

Description
English: Many vintage Japanese hi-fi components (including the Optonica 2121H) contain the 2SA798 dual transistor with BCECB pinout. After 40-50 years these are likely to fail at random, and should be replaced whenever possible. There is no modern drop-in substitute, so a replacement is usually made of two generic PNP transistors in TO-92 package. There are hundreds of types available; as long as their rated voltage and current exceed 40V and 100mA of the 2SA798, and the beta is high enough, any well-matched pair will do. Matching is easy if you have something like twenty devices from the same factory batch - there will almost always be two or more very closely matched pairs. TO-92 transistors may have either CBE (e.g. BC556) or BCE (e.g. KSC922) pinout, but in either case mating two transistors is as easy as 1-2-3-4. More in the video [1]
Русский: В японской аппаратуре 1970-х (да и позже) годов часто применялась двухтранзисторная сборка 2SA798, на практике - по прошествии сорока лет - нередко выходящая из строя. Никакой замены в аналогичном корпусе с цоколевкой BCECB давно не производится. При восстановлении аппаратуры (да и просто профилактики ради) сборка заменяется на два дискретных транзистора в корпусе ТО-92. В зависимости от цоколевки транзисторов (в центре база либо в центре коллектор) применяются две конфигурации. Подбор пар - при наличии хотя бы двух десятков транзисторов из одной партии - сложности не составляет. Для выравнивания температур два транзистора склеиваются цианакрилом и одеваются в общую термоусадку.
