AD149 PNP germanium power transistor TO3

Where can I buy true AD149s ?
Not faked.
Not advertised as AD149 and then getting some supposedly equivalent.

ASZ15 et ça le fera 😀

ASZ15 looks like fake / generic.
I need true AD149.

I have 2 NOS philips in the original box, a nice radio tube box.

 

[coresta]

No ! ASZ , 3 letters, means professional series, years before counterfeit : heavy copper collector 😛 Anyway , Stevenrotterdam has genuine 149...

You ask US?

[mchambin]

Just in case someone knows ways to identify fakery.

 

[poynton]

They look genuine to me!

I dug out 2 ASZ18 from very very old stock.
I presume they are good to replace AD149.
I have not checked the data sheets yet.
This is to repair a Class A amplifier 2 x10 W, I built in 1967.
