[sci.electronics] Replacement Transistor Part #

jenglish@tardis.Tymnet.COM (Jim English) (10/31/89)

I have a Motorola Transitor I need to replace. The part
number is: MJ8550. It drives the clock display in an
AT&T Clock radio/telephone. I have gone to parts houses,
and it doesn't seem to be listed in any of their catalogs.
The clock was manufactured in July of 1985. If anyone
knows of a replacement part number for this transistor,
I would be so grateful. I have tried a few transistors
and they all get real hot after a minute or so. 

Thanks for any and all responses!
