Wanted MPS-U45 , CEN-U45 or equivalent transistor for Gottlieb lamp driver.

[David_Vi]

Got a few feature lamps out on Claire's new Black Hole.
Looks like they used a now obselete and hard to find transistor.

Has anyone got any spare transistors for this location? I notice mouser have CEN-U45 but I'd rather avoid spending £20 on shipping for a few transistors.

i think nte272 are equivalent. but they’re as equally hard to find.

I bought a load years ago, ended up paying something mental like £7 each for them. Have been toying with the idea of trying to find scrap driver boards just so I have a supply of the U45s
