I'm posting this because after some time, I feel compelled to get some of these in people's hand before they are all gone.
These have been my main Germanium transistor for close to 3 years now. There are phenomenal. They are old school GE NPN with low leakage. My source has been Small Bear and for a time, these were seldom purchased and i have been monitoring the stock count on his site for almost a year.
Recently, the stock has been dwindling from somewhere close to 170+ units down to 43.
I urge anyone here remotely interested in this to purchase some. I recommend sets of 6 if you can swing it. I've purchased down as low as 3 units and gotten at least a good Rangemaster AND FF set, or a single Tonebender MK II set. hFE is pretty "tight" between 60 and 120. Leakage is typically less than 50 microamps.
Don't sleep on these because when they are gone, they are gone. I've found almost no other suppliers for these anywhere on the web.
