And a matched set of 16 2SC2879 is only $1039.20 !!

I wonder how many 16 Pill CBers blow them regularly!

The last four I bought came from Henry Radio.
Rfparts sell them as well.

MRF458 and MRF 454 transistors are still available and you can also use
2SC2879.

##  tell that to my buddy, who lives 5 blocks away from me. He has
a ten-tec hercules  SS  500 watt amp. Transistors are un obtainium.
There is no drop in replacement either. There is no way to even re-design
and rebuild the damned thing.   Its a door stop, worth nothing. Nobody
has been successful in getting a TEN TEC Hercules to work.  They
are all door stops.
