Good supply for Germanium Trans.

[jlaugh87]

Im trying to buy some germanium transistors, either AC128 or 2N404.  Small bear has the 2N404 for  bucks a pop, and ebay has a bunch, but they all ship from a ways away.  Is there any other option that I should know about?  I'm looking for a shipment that wont take 3 weeks to arrive.  Thanks if anyone has some insight.

Buy the pretested ones from Small Bear. You'll actually get devices that work. Ebay sellers are not necessarily reliable. They may be, may not be.

If time is more important than money, pay for fast shipping. Remember the old adage: low cost, short time, quality. Choose any *two*.
