Thanks for answering pr122, I have researched and as you say I think it is a Germanium transistor, the problem is that the reference is not seen, everything is deleted, although I think it could be an OC74 Germanium PN74 that can still be found, I have unscrewed and removed from the heatsink the transistor and now it works well, I try it for a short time because without the heatsink it heats up a bit.
Regarding the other question, I don't know what function the two wires that are connected to the positive + 12v have, the red wire screwed to the motor housing and the other screwed to the metal plate.
hello as I told you they must be mass, to attenuate noise, I kept in mind that not every time mass is negative, in old devices, the mass was always positive, because they used PNP transistors, the motor noises were coming from the collector, thin, they produce voltaic arc with the coals, this generates annoying noises, more than anything in old engines with little antiparasitic technology, today it is something else, and it has improved a lot in this aspect, as for the transistor I do not think it is an OC74 , these were longer, it seems to be one of the AC line greetings
could be AC127 or AC128 according to the PNP or NPN polarity, you could try some silicon in that place when working as a regulator, I do not think there are problems, try to be at least 1 Amp like the BC337, or BC327 always of according to the polarity of the original, greetings
Thanks again, indeed those cables are to prevent hum, after some inquiries, I have discovered that this transistor is an AC188 that has the AC128 and AC 153 as a replacement, and in the OC74 datasheet it appears to me that it has the AC128 as a replacement , AC153 and AC188.
Greetings
Always check the voltage and amperage of the transistor's work, many times they give you as a replacement for another transistor with a higher working regime, this is fine, what they do not say is that the reverse should not be replaced because you would be putting a transistor more boy and would have to endure the work regime of the original, this does not hold and burn, greetings
