Any interest in old W/E transistors etc.?

[Meterman]

Some time ago I came into a cache of various Western Electric transistors and diodes, some still in the original factory packaging; there are also some GE transistors from around 1960, all NOS. Also one robin's egg-blue transistor and a pile of gold-plated transistors as well. A lot of these are old enough to be PNP / germanium types.

Before I just trade them all to an electronics hoarder this fall on a trip south, I thought I'd check here for any interest. If there is, I'll put the whole works up on the for sale board (pics and full list too). Wouldn't be asking much, just mainly wanting to recover the few dollars I spent to acquire the toolbox these were found in.

I would certainly consider any you had in the original box. They put a lot more effort into nice packaging for these back when they weren't 10c each.

user magictom use to collect such things, maybe PM him?

I traded all but one or two to another collector of electronic stuff towards getting back a meter I once had in my collection.

If anyone is interested, I have a used BD243 prototype that is waiting a good home... not been able to find someone interested at this time...
