Anyone buying larger lots of Russian transistors on ebay recently?

Just checking to see who you bought from and what gains ranges you got.
I've used GT308B and V transistors with good results. I'm looking for some
more in the 70-90 hfe range.

P416B? I have some here but didn't really use them in anything yet besides a elka dizzy/burns buzzaround. I can test for gains if you want of the last ones i bought(within a year) and can find who the seller was. Sealed boxes of 50 i think.

[John Lyons]

Sure, thanks. Let me know the average gain you got and seller please.

John I have some extra 308B's and 308V's here.  I could sell some off.. just PM me with a fair offer.. I would have to look and see how many I have.  How many do you need?

Thanks Bob!

Seems like prices have gone up and selection has gone down. The P416B i think are a RF transistor, so sometimes it helps with the 47pf across the c-b junction. Gains are usually at the bottom of the spec sheet limit.

Oh yes,  When I 1st found the goldmine 4-5 years ago... prices were dirt cheap, and big variety.. A lot of the really good varieties are impossible to find now.. EX: MP20B.
