Need to identify a cross reference for transistors

Looking to identify a substitute for the two transistors pictured.


Thank you!

Hello @liamkuehn,

The 2SC374 is a vintage Japanese transistor. It was marketed as a general-purpose transistor with a high gain (250 to 1000). It crosses to an NTE199 with an ECB pinout.

Links:

Recommend a BC547C variant.

Unfortunately, this is not a clean substitution. The BC547 has a CBE pinout. I’ve done this before with a bit of twisting it works.

Depending on the value of the radio you may want to search online auctions for an exact replacement.

Best wishes,

APDahlen

P.S. I sure do miss NTE.

@liamkuehn,

Please allow me to clarify:

The NTE199 has a pinout of ECB. It possible that your 2SC374 has a different pinout.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate the pinout for the 2SC374.

Hopefully other will be able to assist.

Sincerely,

Aaron
