FYI, the part that is failing on so many Contiques' IMRC is the faulty transistor. Relocating the IMRC won't really aide in the failure by much (especially in the summer). I have tried the relocation trick and it still failed after a while.
If someone was to have a group buy for these transistors or the service to "fix" them, what would people do?
This has been covered before by Glenn in UK.
Search?
Thread with his post in it: Part number TO-220
Another thread with the part listed as 2N6045
Hopefully they are the same thing. Anyone have a web site with these parts on it?

Both those numbers are bogus. Here's why:

It's on the hidden side of the PCB. It's a bit tricky to get to as you have to desolder the pins for the main connector to get the PCB out. If I don't have a pic of the PCB unfortunately but here is a pic of a similar transistor..

The original one is a 2n-6045, but these don't seem to be available now so I used the closest equivalent which is a TIP 121.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

From what I've found in searches and HERE the 2N6045 is the same thing as TO-220

TO-220 is the package type the transistor comes in, 2n6045 is the "model."

The TO-220 was just a sample picture - not the actual part for the IMRC. Like the ebay ads for V-6 WR headers but I-4 headers are in the pictures.

Sorry, I stand corrected. It's a 65 cent plus shipping part. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4666&item=3845244680If I can get 10+ people to send me $2, I'll buy 20 of them and write a How-To for fixing the damn thing. Then, I will mail one of them to you. It shouldn't take more than 1 hour to fix with a solder iron. Who's in? Maybe this would be a group buy?

So, for those of us who may have an interest in the GB, when are you going to post pix?
