Will a 2n4124 work in place of a 2n4401 for the video booster? I couldnt get a 2n4401 from anywhere near me but they had one of these at my school so i grabbed it for .50 cents.
2n4124 specs

Re: 2n4401 vs 2n4124
I'm not sure what "the video booster" is, but I'm going to co ahead and assume it's a low-power application. Both of these transistors are probably overpowered in terms of the maximum voltage and current they can handle. 2n4401 has a sightly lower bandwidth, (250 MHz vs 300 MHz) but it should be just fine.
