This is why I only buy from certain vendors, the one time I tried to score a deal for a client who was hurting with the quote it backfired, and I am now covering that loss, cuz in the end I pulled the trigger. Good video

A good vendor will be able to provide you X-ray evaluations of their transistors.

A good old LCR and a good old Tektronix curve tracer will reveal the truth. RF finals are one of the worst to get stung on at $100-$1,000 each. Lots of what I buy is obsolete and NLA from most legit suppliers.

Why aren't the reputable companies selling on the regular sites

I guess it depends on what you mean by regular sites. Reputable distributors don't list their parts outside of their websites (thank goodness!)

Thank you for the channel support. They are getting a little better at making them look authentic. I recently had a 5k amplifier in that another tech could not get running. When it came in I instantly recognized the fake output transistors he installed.

@@ricksampson6780 I think this is where we see all the re-pined transistors come from? I would think the manufacture would put it through a shredder.

It's a big issue. So easy for rogue manufacture's to deceive and many do. You could have included a few simple electrical tests to point novice like me in the right direction. On resistance is easy for example.

Companies xray them now to compare against the known real model. Was a big and continuing issue during covid when companies were third party bidding on lots of parts. Pays to know your source!

You wouldn't happen to have a source for two IRFB31N20D would you? They've been EOL'd. I couldn't justify the $40 (after shipping) Arrow wanted for their last 2 FETs and they sold out before I had time to finish compiling a proper order.

I hunted high and low in 2019 for a good source. the 31N20D is a tricky one. I think I have a video on how to properly identify one. Unfortunately, I do not know of a good source now. I bought out what I could find back then.
