Hi,
I did electronics repair in a former life - I've been out of it for quite a while now.
Right now I have a Philips monitor that I'm trying to repair, but I think my question is really general:
Where do folks get replacement semiconductors these days? Are there any good online sources? What do you do when you can't find a part or a cross-reference?
With the advent of the 'net, I kind of expected it to be a lot easier to find parts, but I'm not having much luck. For instance, the first part I want to replace (a BT169, a thyristor, I believe) I don't seem to be able to find anywhere, nor a substitute.
BTW, I did search here first for this info.
Thanks for any pointers!
