BPR, a transistor is an electronic switch. You are probably using 100 million of them right now. YES, cake would be yummy! Thank You.

Anon.Blogger, Unfortunately not. In fact I paid over the going rate for this device. $1.20 in real money.

Dutchbitch & Smythe, Yes, you are both right. I am a failure as a human being.

BUT, I do have a shiny new blue transistor! Wooo-Hoo!!

Doing the shiny transistor dance...

Isn't that what Superfly used on his 'fro back in 1972?

PS--Thanks for montage de mythological beings. Very funny.

So what are you going to use the transistor for? Where can I get an LM743 in a can type package? I need one. And a 32V zener diode.

Dick, Thank You!

Lynda, The answer surprisingly is Yes!

Wendi, I am not worthy...

Nobody™, It has been used to repair the PSU of my aging VCR. I cannot find any reference to an LM743 device. Only LM741, 746,747,748. I'm sure I have some 741 op-amps in metal can somewhere.
32V is an odd value. Try two 16V in series, that should work.

If it was red you may have been be able to trade it for a house and move to Saskatchewan. Where do you find the tiny hot dogs and marshmallows?

You are probably right that it's a LM741. Now I have an excuse to go the electronics parts store on Monday. But I doubt that they have that or the 32V zener. I'll probably end up ordering them.
