Hard To Find SONY Special SCR SG264A

Wanted datasheet for repairing my SONY TV. Multimeter test showed it is different from ordinary SCR.
Part No.: SG264A

What test did you do to check it?

Resistance between all its terminals. The meter pointer showed readings like p-n junction.

Sg246A........Oooooh a blast from the past....... its a Gate Controlled Switch

I may still have one or two left...Where abouts are you ?

Also there was an article in Television mag a few years back on modifying the Line stage, by removing said GCS and replacing with a conventional BU208 based driver stage......Interested?
I could dig it out and mebbe scan it for you....


Oh nostalgia......the number of Sony sets with blown GCS's 8) 8)

Thanks for your professional information. I would try every means possible.
