What does everyone think is the going rate for replacing a blown final

If it is the 1969, the part is relatively cheap. The labor is the
killer.


I


would think it would be in the area of $50.

%*&$ing hell. "how much". 1969's are getting harder to source now since
they
have ceased production of them. The 2SC2078 10w transistor is a commonly
used one in the straight 40 type rigs. Even so, id not charge any more
than
$25 unless there was a lot more involved than a simple tranny
change...but
then again, im not a shop.

Correct, but I think he was getting ripped off, hence $50. I think there
is a
better replacement than the 1969,


So there maybe the FCC-type-acceptance will be lost ...for the rare
ones who care about... :-)

A valid point but if its simply changing a transistor im sure there wont be
a problem. Thenagain if its "supertuned" by Mr fiddle merchant at the same
time then that's a different story ;o)
