The original RCA 35144s PNP outputs are not easy to find ( no listings
on Ebay) and the only similar type I can find from a dealer is the AD149.

Didn't suggest they were cheap, just readily available.

** The NTE179 is nothing like the original RCA part and is very expensive.

OTOH, the AD149 is very close as sells for under US$10 on Ebay or just over A$5 from the store I usually frequent here in Sydney.
