This is a recurring question even though the information was in the Mini-Booster article at AMZ From the article: "The NTE458 usually has more gain than the J201, and the 2N3686 can provide gain of 500. The 2N5457, MPF102, and 2N3819 will produce less gain. Other substitute transistors include 2N5484, 2SK43, 2SK68, 2SK117, 2SK118, 2SK121, 2SK163 and BF245."

Use a 2N4250. 4250 is not exactly a complement of the 5088, but it's pretty good for any silicon PNP uses. See similar questions...

It is a metal and plastic covering for raw, arthritic bone ends. It replaces cartilage that has worn away over the years. Knee replacement can eliminate pain and allow you to move easily with less discomfort. For those that have become bow-legged or knock-kneed over the years, it can also straighten your legs to a more natural position. See similar questions...

Few replacement parts are currently manufactured directly by Steinberger or Gibson. The Spirit models are manufactured and assembled in Korea, and do have some design differences in them. Therefore, they can't all necessarily be used as replacements in a composite model instrument. MusicYo has resurrected Steinberger production, as is selling parts as well. TransTrem, S-Trems, R-Trems, headbands, leg rests, jaws and many other items can be found on their site. See similar questions...

Moses Graphite makes replacement necks for all Steinberger models. Many players actually prefer them to the stock Steinberger necks. Realize that a lot has been learned about the science of sound in graphite construction since Ned started making them 20 years ago. Moses necks are designed more for sonic quality - the original Stienberger necks were designed primarily for stiffness and stability. Click here to read more about Moses Graphite necks.

If you have a national registration and a protected international trade mark for the same mark and the goods and/or services included in the national registration are covered by the protected international trade mark, you can request that the national registration be replaced. If you replacement request is valid, you will get the earlier priority date for the goods and/or services covered by the national registration. See similar questions...

Hip replacement is only recommended after careful diagnosis of your joint problem. It is not likely that anti-inflammatory drugs or cortisone injections will give you the same long term relief that hip replacement will. See similar questions...

Hip replacements are successfully performed with all cemented components as well as with a combination of uncemented and cemented components. Your surgeon will discuss which technique is best for you. See similar questions...

The most common reason that people have hip replacement surgery is the wearing down of the hip joint that results from osteoarthritis. Other conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis a chronic inflammatory disease that causes joint pain,stiffness, and swelling), avascular necrosis (loss of bone caused by insufficient blood supply), injury, and bone tumors also may lead to the breakdown of the hip joint and the need for hip replacement surgery.

Before considering a total hip replacement, the doctor may try other methods of treatment, such as an exercise program and medication. An exercise program can strengthen the muscles in the hip joint and sometimes improve positioning of the hip and thus relieve pain. The doctor also may treat inflammation in the hip with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. Some common NSAIDs are aspirin and Ibuprofen. See similar questions...

To help avoid unsuccessful surgery, researchers are studying the types of patients most likely to benefit from a hip replacement. Researchers also are developing new surgical techniques, materials, and designs of prostheses, and studying ways to reduce the inflammatory response of the body to the prosthesis. Other areas of research address recovery and rehabilitation programmes, such as home health and outpatient programmes. See similar questions...

Before surgery, a small tube called an intravenous line will be inserted into your arm to administer antibiotics and other medication. In the operating room, you will be given anesthesia. Once the anesthesia takes effect, your knee will be scrubbed and sterilized. Your surgery will begin with an incision over the knee to expose the joint. The surgeon then uses precision guides and special instruments to remove any damaged surfaces and shape the ends of the bones. See similar questions...

A rehabilitation program will be specially designed for your situation in order to help you regain balance, strength and range of movement. You may be using a continuous passive motion machine that automatically moves your leg to help reduce stiffness. Your physical therapist will help you perform these exercises. About 24 hours after surgery, you will probably be ready to try standing. Within the next 24 hours, you will likely begin to walk a few steps with the help of a walker. See similar questions...
