Decided I'm going to build a high current power supply. I need a handful of 2N3055 or Tip3055 devices for the pass transistors.
I probably know the answer anyway but are the cheap chinese ones on ebay actually any good, or will they just prove to be 3 legged fuses/smoke generators ?

Also is it worth putting a wanted ad on here for these. I know I’d hoarded a few power transistors but just not enough of each type ?
