Default Re: Roberts RT7 - problem

Question: These OC81m's that took an exception to 'procedures' and promptly failed, with their little rubbery jackets. It is being suggested that AC128's (half the price) are a more reliable replacement. Given that the originals were held in a copper clip riveted to the frame and therefore a decent heat sink, would the forum suggest that these AC128's might indeed be a better choice?

When the replacement OC81m's arrived, I had my doubts about them being suitable solely on the grounds that the loss of a heat sink was a course set for failure. Opinions most welcome.
