Transistors for Fuzz Factory help....

[Fndr8875]

ok so ive come across a really good deal for a FF pcb, including transistors and all passive parts. Its from a very trustworthy source. The transistors are http://www.ebay.com/itm/2N427-US-Transistor-Germanium-Ge-PNP-Oscillator-Mixer-/191828454544

not these exact ones but 2n427s. He said he will match a pair for me. I know the FF will work will a wide variety of transistors, just thrown off by the oscillator-mixer part of discription. I dont know much about Ge Transistors, can anyone confirm that these will be ok? i searched for the term oscillator-mixer transistors with alot of the common know ones used in the FF, ac128, ac125 etc and didnt find anything. Would you suggest i take the deal with those transistors, or just get the pcb and source some better know models that have been used in the Fuzz factory.

> thrown off by the oscillator-mixer

Back in 1959, the BIG use for transistors was Radios.

Which have oscillators and mixers.

An osc/mix transistor is a good one. The slow rejects were marked for audio duty. The slow hissy ones went to output stages. The mix/osc is good for all positions in a radio. In cheap-think, they are "too good" for a fuzz, but that price is not intimidating. (Small Bear has what you want and possibly lower price...)
