Re: 2N3565

Hi,

I'm doing a fairly big component buy in the next couple of days for builds I'll be working on in the near future, and I want to make sure I don't waste $ on stuff I don't need. This is taken from the Deadpool build doc. "I strongly recommend purchasing the 2N3565 transistors from SmallBear." SB's 2N3565 look like pic1. The etch is set up for this type, pic2. Which do I purchase?

Thanks,

I've used both versions for harmonic perc builds and could not tell the difference. However, I would not buy PN3565s from Tayda or eBay. Tayda is known to sell transistors that are out of spec and Ebay...

I've found 2 options. A company called Talon Elec.has 2N3565/PN3565 for $0.55 each. However, they show a blank transistor for the pic. Well Gain Elec. has them, (brand name Sprague), for $3.30 each, and I can read 2N3565 on the transistor pic itself. Is there any problems with this brand, or is it the Maserati of transistors that's why so expensive?

Thanks

These guys are pretty good about real parts

Thank you, Mike. I've purchased a lot from them...duh. Don't know why I didn't check out their site. Ok..problem solved!

Thank you again

No problem. I would order a bunch and build a wolfshirt while you are at it! Great sub octave fuzz. Uses the same transistors.
