    Description

    Ten Rare Transistors (Rare Package Types)
    From the 1950’s and 1960’s.
    ~ All are over 50 years old ~
    These are working transistors.
    Great examples of transistors of the past.
    They are all obsolete "Grown Junction" and "Mesa" types.
    NPN and PNP  types.
    Most are early germanium vs silicon types.
    These types have not been manufactured in many years.
    Rare and collectible,
    most with gold plated leads.  Gold plated leads were characteristic of early
    transistors.  Gold plating was dropped when competition forced cost-saving
    measures.  All i
    n g
    reat condition.
    Manufacturers include GE, Philco, TI, Tesla, SS
    and Solid State Products Inc (SSPI).
    Of the 6 companies listed, only one is still making transistors today.
    All with long leads characteristic
    of transistors
    made in the 50's and 60's.
    Long leads were desired in case parts were
    installed
    in "chassis" type designs,
    rather than in
    more modern "printed circuit" designs.  Technology has evolved
    and electronic parts with long leads are generally obsolete.  T
    ransistors
    are now mostly in surface mount packages.
