Were the original output transistors in this receiver 2SD118? The receiver I am working on has a mixture of two 2SD118, one NTE118 and one NTE284. (all NPN)
Thanks, Don and Liz

Did you mean NTE181?
NTE284 - 100watt TO3 case.
2SD118 NLA - NTE 284MCP would sub.Toshiba 2SD118 original device, NTE = OEM replacement.

Whoops! Yes you are right. NTE181. Thanks for the help.
Yes, the 2SD118 transistors are the correct originals. Fair warning though that these things were a common failure if you didn't replace the driver board as well. If your driver board doesn't say F-6013, then you have the older type which was unstable.
Good luck.
