having a hard time finding these components

[TheExperimenter]

I desperately need these three items for a project, but I'm having a
hard time finding them. I had hoped to order all from a single source
to save shipping costs, but I don't know if that's feasible. A cross
reference with same pinouts might be helpful, but even having trouble
with that... and running short on time. Any parts source and/or good
cross reference would be welcomed. Thank you.

See! I was right. This is Phil's way of saying he will be glad to help you find a better design. Isn't he a great guy?

Maybe you should just go jump off a bridge!

It would solve all of your problems and the world would still

We got no more Music prodigy either, going 'round composing

Nobody bitchin' about that.

Oh, NO! The world is going through an intellectual lull, and just
at the moment when we are starting to rely on computers doing all the
figuring for us! We are truly doomed!

Bwuahahahahahha!

I feel your pain, Phil. Sure...

Then, I light up, and think about anything but you.

What is with the twenty blank lines after every post?

Sorry if I worry you. I get the impression you are worried about a lot of things though, so I guess it's no big deal.

D40D5 NPN power tab transistor

... an old GE part, 60V, 1A NPN, with LOTS of available just-as-good replacements
I'd consider TIP31C

2n24646
a metal-case UJT; there's still 2N6027 in production, in a plastic case

> MCR 106-8 or C107D or 2n4444
a 400V 4A SCR, plastic; not used much, there are more flexible power options
nowadays, but MCR72-8 is still around (TO-220 instead of TO-202 case)

Briefly checking over your suggestions and plugging them in, they seem
like possible good options, but I lack the ability to find out if they'd
be direct substitutions, or would I have to make circuit changes, swap
leads. I don't mind swapping leads if I had to, but circuit changes I
wouldn't be able to make. Any more info on these would be welcome,
including where I might be able to plug in and get results for as many
equivalent cross references as possible. Thanks!

It would be a good idea if you were to post a schematic,
then others could evaluate the viability of substitutes.

Unfortunately, the exact schematic does not appear online and is
copyrighted. However, it appeared in Radio Electronics Magazine
September 1986, p. 42 stun gun. A similar one adapted from the article
is here, but does not use the same components:

http://www.learningelectronics.net/VA3AVR/circ/hv/stungun/stungun.html

I built the gun from the kit in 1994, but my wife used it a month ago
and burned it out while scaring off a would be attacker.

I originally contacted the firm that made it, but have not heard back
after several weeks, so I went parts looking myself. I don't trust the
ones with the puny "400 KV" modules that seem to be front and center
now. This one really worked and was tested scientifically at the time
which is why I'd like to get the replacement components.

I have seen that video. I do have one of the modules. It uses about 12
watts of power on the input side, not sure how much output. Up to 3/4"
sparks on a good day so maybe 15-20 Kv tops. No, it isn't going to
paralyze anyone. Might cause pain but that's about it. The one I'm
trying to repair though is a different story. 2" sparks between
terminals, pokes holes in a water filled styrofoam cup almost instantly.
The transformers are still good, but two of the solid state components
bad which is why I was searching for replacements. I hope folks can
help. Trying to find the originals would be too costly.

This post fits perfectly my description of the vast majority of usenet
inquiries about home projects:

Its either stupid, dangerous or illegal - sometimes all three.

By the way, it was for possible responses like yours which is why I was
hesitant to post further information, but Winfield Hill suggested it, so
I reluctantly decided to do so. If anyone else has to bow out due to
the possible legal issues, I'll fully understand. That being said, I do
see plenty of electronic devices far more dangerous than this that
people are working on all the time (hobby x-ray machines, for example),
yet I see a lot of information freely offered to such ventures.
