Hi,

I bought a 700b "700w rms" last week and it is stock (with only PS cap. 22000µf and rectifiers upgrade).
The power transistors are XPL609 and RCA.

I think that they are stock.

What is the best output transistors 609 or MJ15004 ?

It was with a 4000 for repair (in bad condition), but after 2 days of works, it looks new (1 lever knob is missed) :-/.
I'm in France, I must to replace the transformer in 220V to repair it...
To be continued... ;-)

Thank you for your reply anf sorry for my poor english... :-/

Hello and welcome to the forum

MJ21196 is needed, not MJ15004.

Our good friend Alain Limas in Paris at Atlantic Audio Vintage is a repair expert in your area for Phase Linear.

Your original output transistors are XPL909...
