      <p>If you luck out and find some,  bear in mind that you have to
        buy matched pairs.</p>
      <p>Theoretically, you have to buy matched quads.  But you can
        probably be OK with matched pairs</p>
      <p>Expect to pay a premium, those  stud mount RF transistors
        haven't been made for at least 20 years. A guess would be at
        least $50 each<br>
      </p>
      <p>Your best bet is to buy a junked SB104</p>
      <p>The SB104 will become unrestorable due to unavailability of the
        Final transistors, the Nixie tubes, the Nixie driver IC, and the
        voltage regulator IC.  <br>

                they no longer stock those transistors.</div>
