Why did you do both channels for, were they both U/S?...

Not to start with but I took the transistor from the other channel
to compare them and it was duff by the time I'd got it out and I
wasn't heavy handed with it. I decided to change the compliments
too while I was at it and neither of them survived desoldering so
they were obviously all on their last legs.

Erm... in my experience transistors do not 'wear out' in a way that
means that when you desolder them they die. What failure mechanism
do you have in
mind here?

Slainte,

Jim


Usually clumsy desoldering

But not in my case
