 I realize this is a topic that's been posted & addressed 'ad nosium' here and every other fx related forum. But the long-standing best; smallbear, has exhausted thier stock of all but the trannys which tested too far off spec to sell in thier muff/bender ect packages.
I fear we've finally reached the day we've been dreading yet all knew was coming sooner than later....   :(

**So...Is anyone aware of a reputable source of in-stock sorted/matched germanium transistors? I only need a few, even just a single matched pair within fz-face reasonable gain/leakage specs would keep me going awhile.. I sold my only two fuzz's I'd built to a friend who'd been asking for awhile as a favor, and planned to replace them (I actually have/had a small amount of 60's Russian PNP's stashed away that have completely disappeared somehow!!).. Anyway, Any tips would be extremely appreciated!

P.S. If you're in need of a specific NOS part or component there's a pretty good chance I have it. Perhaps a trade/deal could be arranged..?

     -Thanks guys,
      Justin

AC125's, in Australia and had good dealings with him in the past but in the meantime, i think shipping has become a major hit in the pocket book.

This is what they mean by leakage in germanium transistors.  Sort of like shrinkage in warehouse stock.
