[bars] C1971/1972 transistors

[Richard Heckbert]

Juan,

Just run down to your nearest Radio Shack, er, You-Do-It Electronics, er A1 Electronics  - Dang!

All I’m seeing are ones on Amazon that are Chinese in origin.  Some even have the nerve to put a Mitsubishi logo on them but then say Chinese generic.
All the big names don’t seem to have them
Newark, Mouser, Jameco, DigiKey

I did find C1971’s at LCSC Electronics under PN 2SC1971
https://www.lcsc.com/products/Bipolar-BJT_326.html?globalKeyword=C1971%2520&s_z=n_C1971%2520

The above are my goto’s when I need components

Sorry,
Rick

Folks, I didn't think I would have to explain it, but after 50 years in IT and electronics I know all about the standard sources. None of them have what I need, except for desperate Chinese suppliers known to ship counterfeit parts, in some cases with twisted leads.

So, to clarify, I am looking for reliable alternate sources.

Does anyone know where I can get a good deal on a pair of C1971 and C1972 RF transistors?
