I wondered before why no-one seems to have done a clone of the
ua726.<br>
<br>
Doesn't *SEEM* all that complex?!<br>
A nice matched pair (eg LS318) is the main core.<br>
6 transistors (I presume general purpose?), 2 x 6V2 zeners and 6
standard resistors.. - those parts being for the heating element.<br>
<br>
Get the pin placement right, encapsulate it in goo.. <br>
<br>
What am I wrong on? <br>
<br>
[I don't want to fully take on such a project, though could
potentially do a design up for initial testing with a view to
someone running a production in a friendly open-source-ish manner]<br>

<div>I've bought a few fakes some years ago for about 10-15$
each iirc They worked according to my tech at the time.
It's hard to say if they perform exactly the same, I ended up
putting in a real one in just to be sure.</div>

I doubt that these were ever shipped to, or made
in China so I would look elsewhere. Its hard to
imagine that in the 1970's, Fairchild, in the
height of the cold war, would be manufacturing
vital components such as these in China.<br>

Lots of feedback regarding fake parts -<br>

I’m so burned out on this issue – sheeeesh for
$90 it better be NOS.<br>
Tried searching the AH archives for recent
content on this subject but did<br>
not get anywhere. Sorry to be redundant, but
what is the latest word on<br>
this part?<br>
