Yeah, that's a nice collection there.  Are all of the germaniums verified usable?  If so, even nicer.

I thought that was my Christmas PIF?


Kidding. That's really pretty. I like how all the transistors not just are all together in the little bins, they're also shined up and lined up so that they look appealing while in there.

looks like a tackle box. i use a tackle box just like that for my caps.
all you need now is little name tags on each one like "rock n roll Sally"   ;D

Man, you must have fun testing every single one of those in each transistor-based OD or fuzz you build just to make sure you don't miss out on "The One."

I was more interested if it was one of the gray ESD protection cases.  They are usually gray.

Most of them are usable minus the AC176`s and the AC187`s and and I have some really low gain oc139 and oc81d (hfe around 30 ) . All the others are usable in classic fuzz circuits .

Exactly ! That s what I do and that s why I ve started building pedals . I socket a lot of things and I experiment ... And that s why I need like 2 months to build a pedal  :-[.

Thats a lot of fuzzes to build right there!

I sense an oncoming 'show us your stash thread'!
