    TJ 00109 or TJ DO109 Transistor, in Gem Jumbo Organ (like Vox Jaguar)

    Has anyone heard of this transistor before, or know of any equivalents? The G# board on my Gem Jumbo is only playing high G# on the normal G#s and nothing for bass, I tested the components and the problem seems to be one of the Motorola transistors, TJ 00109, or possibly TJ D0109, i can't tell which. Unfortunately, google isn't helping me to work out which it might be, hopefully someone here might know?



    Thanks for any help,

    matalog.

    A bit of googling says it's a Magnetic Tunnel Junction 00109
    It's not what you play. It's not how you play. It's the fact that you're playing that counts.

      No, the M is the motorola logo. This is one of the Octave transistors. I noticed that on one of the note boards, that a BC270 was replaced with one of these, and a rough equivalent of that is BC109 so I will try some of those.

        More likely to be a general purpose germanium pnp transistor if the circuit is close to vox jaguar. The following link has a bit of a discussion, suggesting you could probably substitute a silicon pnp transistor.

          I see what you mean about the 'M' being the logo and stand corrected.

            GEM part number MTJ 00109 crosses to a 2N5449 per the Organ Cross Reference Master. General purpose audio NPN silicon transistor.

              Yeah, some BC549s seem to be working. Thanks. I'll compare with the BC109s when they arrive.
