This was my original posting, after a few days with no response I
finally made it to my local Radio Shack and the guy behind the 
counter looks in his handy "cross reference manual" under 8050 and
tells me the part is a 2N2222 transistor!!  Can this be true??  I
am having a hard time believing him (not that I don't trust his
ability to read) so could someone please verify this for me?  Thanks.
