And if your looking for 2N5686 transistors, don’t buy them on EBay!!! Buy 
them from a reputable distributor like Mouser, Digi-Key, Allied or Newark.


MOST if not all "NOS" transistors on EBay from China are counterfeit (crafty 
relabeling of who knows what, especially expensive RF transistors, but use 
your own judgment. You will most likely waste your time and MAY get your 
money back if you yell at EBay enough and be sure to use the work 
counterfeit. EBay takes a dim view of counterfeit items.).  Been there.... 
done that!
