I generally hear they are better, shade. But at least you have 3 matched, and now you can make a 2 pill and have a spare!

Well Shade if your armed with the old Weller gun, and a Bud light anything is possible. Hope you can get her back on line soon.
Let us know how it turns out, good on you for tackling this job.

Finally starting to get things together. Found this on eBay. Would this work?

My bigger irons are American Beauties.
That said, I think 80W plus is where you need to be.

Lol...old military gear, but...if and when one wants to solder terminals on 1/0 and up...its the only real ticket.
No thermal regulation on this bugger...she’ll glow cherry red during an August sun in the Carolinas.

That should work well. It looks bigger than the Hakko that I've been using. As long as it's not so big that it's awkward to use.
I found this set of Toshiba from a seller I have bought from before. The reviews are good too. A matched set of four for $150. Is it too good to be true?

If they are the real deal finals that's a great price.
Toshiba transistors at HG prices. I'm skeptical.
This is the trap that people fall into. The good reviews? Maybe from people who don't know any better. On the other hand, if I buy HG transistors, I stand a better chance of getting the real deal second best? I could get a set of 5 "Toshiba" and open one up to see if the die is correct. I am not going to get anything yet, I am going to have to think about this.......
I am aware of people buying some real Toshiba transistors on eBay at similar prices. However, they were not the non red dot pills they show in the pictures. They had the dots on them but it was still a good price. I'd actually be happy to see the red dots in this case because without them, you are almost guaranteed they are counterfeit.
