content: Will be at the parents house in a week or two. I think that I left there some of the Soviet germanium transistors, low and high power, though most of them have gone in the trash 10 years ago. I had to have some of the Japanese but I don't think any of them left. Can give them away if you pay for shipping. Approximately 2.5 EUR for <100g and 4.5 EUR for <200g worldwide.

content: Found here some new (Made in 1975) and used germanium high frequency flying dishes like on the pictures. Have some funny looking soviet diodes too.

Just let me know. I am interested in LED's/Diodes too. I really just like old semiconductors. Let me know what you fin an Ill glaly pay for shipping.

content: As I thought most of the germanium parts are gone. What I found on the picture. Some germanium stuff as well as weird looking silicon stuff. The oldest part I've noticed is a silicon diode diode made in 1964.I'm going on a business trip today evening, so will be able to ship this stuff only next week.

content: Hmm, I've got some...TS132386X1 (or 1X98..)TS1619TS161 (or T5161..)etc.Seems to be generic TO-5 PNP, 30V symmetrical (alloy junction perhaps?), couple mA, 50mW, < 1MHz. Pulled from an electronic organ (of the tone divider type -- 6 x 6CG7 master oscillators for the highest octave, followed by two-transistor flip-flops for the twelve notes each of all the lower octaves).Tim
