Was the original final transistor heat sink only anchored to the transistor case by a pressure fit? Did you try to firmly anchor the original heat sink with some type of insulated mounting hardware? skipp Bryan Fields [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As we have had many issues with our 220

Well, yes and no... you are right to think along the lines of the isolated or emitter-case (the emitter lead grounded) transistor being a better solution. One could use a Delrin, Teflon, G4 or G10 material to firmly secure the original heat sink. The added capacitance should be minimal if
