Been dealing with this company for years. Always had good service and fast shipping. Never had a DOA part from them yet.
But no where does it say it's a Mitsubishi transistor.
Those are fake 2sc2166's Robb.on a genuine 2sc2166 the c2166 is across the middle, it also has two small triangular plastic bits between the component leads.
The one Mack linked too shows a picture of a genuine 2sc2166 but that doesn't neccessarly mean its what they have in stock, the whole world is flooded with fake 2sc2166,2sc1969 and 2sc2312 amongst many others.
What will replace this ?
CA CB Radios Plus has a pretty decent record out here.
Never got stiffed yet.
