Matsushita SB175 - GERMANIUM TRANSISTOR - 4 pieces, made 1961

FOR SALE:  4 used vintage Matsushite Germanium transistors pulled from an organ.

If you want more let me know the requested quantity and will offer discount.

The organ was first made around 1958 some of the pots were stamped 1961 date code so assume these transistors are around same year, perhaps slightly earlier. The organ had some issues but all the keys were working and tone was nice. I assume that all or most of these transistors will be in good working condition and in spec however it is always possible that one or more might have an issue. Am not an expert on these vintage components.

I carefully cut these out in a way that should give you the longest leads possible, if you want to try to remove any extra solder or just clip them it's up to you.

Should be good for guitar pedal distortion etc. effects projects that might benefit from Germanium rather than newer type components.

Shipping is $2.75 if you are in United States and up to 24 transistors can be shipped for $2.75. (November 2017).
