I've got an RCA stereo with no power. I've traced it to a transistor that is blown i think due to a power surege. the transistor is marked ST2sC and I can't seem to find one. does anyone know any replacement, cross-referenced suitable replacements, anything. The full number on the the transistor is:
ST2SC
3203Y
S1B
Thanks.
Please post the make and model number along with the part designation on the pc board. IT should be Q something. I'll look it up and post hte part number.

It's an RCA stereo, model RS2625B, component Q701.
Thanks
That is a 2SC3203y Subs to an ECG 382. It is an NPN audio driver transistor. There is usually a PNP that goes with this transistor as well. I would certainly make sure the PNP transistor and any other drivers around the blown transistor are not shorted or leaky. It is always better to use exact replacement parts but here is the ECG spec sheet is available HERE. Enter the original number of 2SC3203Y on a search on-line and you will get a ton of places to buy it from. Good Luck
