2SA913A transistor substitute

What are the best substitute/replacement for 2SA913A transistor? I need them for my receiver. Where can I buy it? Thanks

I'd suggest the 2SA1837/2SC4793 from Mouser. Closest modern replacement. They are full plastic, however. If you require a metal tab, then look for the 2SA1011/2SC2344 from Bdent or elsewhere.
 
Thanks guys for the info. I am also looking for 2SC1913A. What are the best substitute for those? Thanks a lot.
 
I'd have to say those subs Avionic suggested are absolute dogs. The 2SA1837 & 2SC4793 complementary pair (these replace the complementary pair you are asking about) are a hell of a lot more suitable provided the metal tab is not depended on for the collector connection. Depending on how easy and where you want to source stuff, there are other options.

If you want original replacement transistors, both transistors you list are available from Little Diode
I don't see that littlediode has the 2SA913A even listed and for it's complementary, enquire for price and availability.
 
Happy New Year to you Dave :D

And look ! you just blew through 20K posts !

Congratulations.
 
The SOA on the 2SA1930/2SC5171 is about half that of the 2SA913/2SC1913. For VAS duty or predrivers in a triple darlington they are probably fine. But for driver duty in a darlington emitter follower stage, I'd be careful doing a sub unless its a low wattage unit.
