Thanks for all the help. I do have a couple of BC 109 but I thought with all the work to carefully disassemble the unit that after 30 years there would be a better transistor. Thanks again Bert Kehren In a message dated 5/17/2014 6:47:55 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:

Generally speaking, the baseband noise of a bipolar transistor is most strongly influenced by the transistor's base spreading resistance. Of course, the transistor also needs to have whatever other characteristics are required in the application circuit -- in particular, adequate current gain and transition frequency at the operating point and sufficiently low input capacitance -- and these may be mutually exclusive with lowest base spreading resistance. The 2SD786 and MPSA18 may be good candidates. That said, I seriously doubt you will get usefully better phase noise by using a "better" transistor in this location.
