Does anybody know what is a good substitute for this one

http://www.supertex.com/pdf/datasheets/LR8.pdf Is a posibility, depends on the max current you are drawing and the package.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm not sure  how much is the exact current drawing
the part is defective, unable to make measurement.

I will try to check the specs on LR8
Thank you very much geekgirl

what are you powering with it ?

[danny]

It is used on a LINN preamp power supply

sounds like 1 amp will be all you need to supply, do you know the Vin and Vout ?

I have to look on the schematics to see if there are any voltages mentioned
usually if the power supply failed we replace it with a new one.
but since the whole supply is so expensive then component level is the other options.
will keep you guys posted
thanks
