Landyacht's Flame-O-Watt (A thought)
When installing the new transistors... After bonding (screwing them) to the heat sink... You DID use a DMM and insure with a resistance check that the continuity between the metal -tab- of the r...

I ordered the same transistor that failed. It was not a T0220.
I linked the exact product in the cheapowatt thread
There was no hole in the transistor. There was a screw inbetween transistors. A threaded flat bar pulled the transistors tight to the heat sink.
I did not bust out the DMM.
I was just using my new solder sucker gun pulling components out of cheapowatt circuit board. Practice. Much easier than using solder wick, but still a technique required. More practice needed.
