Due to tin | Due to [[Germanium transistors|tin whiskers growing inside the case]], 2N2207 are a common source of problems on equipment of the period. | ||
In most (but not all) circuits, a failed 2N2207 can be replaced with a modern silicon PNP transistor. | |||
Such a replacement may need to involve several coupled transistors/diodes (see link for an example). | |||
