2n3771 to 2n5686 upgrade but where to buy?

[nbsr]

Mouser and DigiKey is a no and no surprise, ebay and amazon has a ton.
I got burned twenty years ago buying 1969s "online" and I had to throw them out.
I'm rebuilding a Astron 35.
Does anyone have a reliable source?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Newark has 78 in stock. Mouser has over 2000... RF Parts has them too.

Back when we repaired linear-regulated power supplies, the S_T brand 2N3771 from Mouser worked like it should. Most likely what they're selling now.

Oops! Just checked, not in stock. Been a while since we bought any. Used them to repair the suicidal power supply in the Galaxy Saturn/Eagle2000/RCI2990 decades ago. Been using switchmode bricks for that job this century.
