TDA6101Q - where can I buy one?

Sony part # 875934642 $2.41 at

On the west coast you should try Andrews electronics.

Any Philips distributor may have it as well, as Philips is the OEM.

Correct, Philips is the OEM for this part. Unfortunately, they recently discontinued them as per their 5-year availability of replacement parts. I know, because just 2 weeks ago I needed three of these for a 27" Samsung (arcing flyback blew all 3). I was told (by a distributor) they were discontinued this March, exactly five years after this model was discontinued. Get used to it, because this is becoming the norm.

So use the Sony part, which is the same thing and readily available. It is even cheap. Limited parts lifespan is nothing new. They likely have an improved version that is still available, since this ship tended to fail quite a lot.

Still available in Australia for AU$8.65, so I expect your regular parts outlets should have it.

I should have known. The distributor (Global Elect.) is an authorized Philips/Samsung dealer, but not Sony. Doesn't matter though, because even if I could get the IC's the customer still isn't willing to put that much money into the set (3 ICs + flyback).
