I'm taking a shot at repairing an old tape deck (Technics if I remember
correctly) and I've tracked the problem way down to some cooked
silicon inside the motor unit.  Unfortunately, it's not in any of the
data books in the good old engineering library here, and we're a ways
out in the sticks.  I've managed to track down the logo and find out
that it's a Matsushita part, but no more.  It's got a case kinda like
a TO-220 (?), but a hole in the brown/black part *itself* and no metal back
plate (for heat sink mount).  Anyway, three legs and the following
markings:

	*  299
	AN6610

Where the * is the Matsushita triangle and the first 9 in 299 is
smaller and underlined.

So, my question is: what the h*ll is an AN6610 and is there a readily
available drop-in replacement?

AdvTHANXance,

-Mitch
