2SC1306 vintage RF power transistor for sale (also compatible with 2SC2166) 

This video shows the vintage NEC RF power transistor type 2SC1306. The 2SC1306 is a vintage transistor in TO220 package that was used widely as the RF power transistor in CB equipment, from the mid- Seventies up to the late Nineties. In CB radios, the transistor produces about 4 watts carrier and 16 watt peak (at maximum AM modulation) as per FCC regulations, but at that particular FCC power level it just loafs. In push-pull RF amplifiers, two of these transistors easily generate up to 20 watts, and as such it was also used in push-pull driver stages for 100 watt RF power amplifiers (you often will see them used as such in HF marine radios from the Eighties, as well as some ham radios from the era)
The 2SC1306 is also drop-in compatible with the well known 2SC2166 from NEC competitor Mitsubishi, which is another RF transistor of the same power capability that was often used in vintage CB equipment, and also not produced any more today.
The 2SC1306 is not manufactured any more, and as a result it has become hard to find these. There are a lot of 2SC1306 listings on eBay from Chinese sources, but all of them are counterfeit, they are low-frequency TO220 transistors from which the original markings have been removed and then the fake code 2SC1306 (C1306) has been laser engraved on them. The fakes are hard to spot from the eBay listing, but they will not work in your CB radio once installed. Which is in fact the only way to test if they are genuine (or not): to actually put them in a vintage CB radio and as such, to test the actual output power coming from the CB radio.
Testing our 2SC1306 in an unmodified CB radio is exactly what we are doing here in this video. First we test the CB radio for output power using the original 2SC1306 transistor that was put in by the manufacturer in 1975, then we record the generated output power, and then we replace the transistor with the NEC 2SC1306 from our own (genuine) batch, after which the output power is measured again. As you will see in this video, the output power is identical between the two, proving our transistors are in fact genuine NEC 2SC1306 transistors.
