Cool looking new (by which I mean VERY old) transistors

by Matt on Thursday 12 January 2012

I was browsing the cyber shelves over at Doctor Tweek the other day, and came across some really cool looking transistors, OC602s, which predate the first fuzz pedal (Maestro Fuzz Tone), and were in fact used in the first German transistor radio. At £2.50 a pop, these had to tried, right? Then, when they came in the post, I realized that I hadn't properly looked at the picture, and not only did the description make them sound cool, but they looked even cooler.

The large picture of the OC602 made in 1961
