Hi! I have a problem with one of my Plusses that the repair book says requires the replacement of a resistor and the Q1 transistor, a Motorola U01. There's also some comments here and there implying that when doing repairs like this, you're supposed to replace the paired transistor in Q2. The resistor is no problem, but the transistors in question haven't been made in a long time and are pretty hard to find (and not cheap.)
I found this thread (link), which mentions an equivalent, but those are hens' teeth as well.
Wondering if anyone knows of a modern (currently manufactured, and, like, available at Mouser or Digikey or something) equivalent? Most of these transistor specs are greek to me.
The 2A of current this one can handle is seems to put it in "beefy" territory. A lot of transistors that can deal with that current are in metal cases with only two pins instead of three; I'm curious if they could be adapted? (Like, is the metal case also a "pin"?)
Data sheet for the MPSU01 is attached.
