I think it's an NPN transistor but not sure. I can only test one junction (B-C) and even that is reading higher than seems normal.  I'm going by the board markings and am not sure of the actual basing. The board is from a Seth Thomas, Acquisition Clock that dates from around 1972 or so...

Kiran, Measure the input voltage to your clock. If voltage from your DC wall adapter have risen 7805 regulator will go hot. Also high voltage to Nixie tubes might also rise if input voltage to clock is too high. Sture Kiran Otter skrev den 2015-03-28 12:55: Hi folks, glad to find this

Darin, Measure what you have for voltage from the power supply unit. If it is a simple unregulated power supply voltage can be above 12V. Cheap power supplies are often built of a transformer, four diodes and a capacitor. Sture -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the
