Title: 8393S Transistors Ever Heard Of 'Em?
Post by: frankie5fingers on March 20, 2013, 08:07:07 PM
I found some, I have no idea what they might be good for.  I can't find them listed anywhere, Antique Radio Museum etc.  No datasheets anywhere.  The only marking says 8393s.  All I know is I had them in a bag with a couple of old 2n2925s (TO92? or TO39?) case.  Any ideas about them?
Thanks

Can you take a really good, crisp photo? It's possible that it's not a number but some letters involved.

Well... I tried but apparently not.  I did cleverly place my magnifier in the shot though; that's the alligator clip attached to it.  Since I couldn't take a closer-up pic, I looked through it to confirm that the lettering does indeed say 8393S. They're also shaped exactly like those 2925s Timbo had a few months ago.  They're pulls so I'm guessing I bought 'em because they came out of an organ or something like that.  I dunno.
Anyhow, here's the best pic I could make.

Thought I recognised that number, think they're house numbered 2N2925 from a Lowrey organ.

I had 'em in a bag with the 2925s.  I may have even gotten them from you.  Thanks much Scruffie, it was drivin me crazy why I'd have 'em in the same bag as the organ pulls.
Thanks again, Frank
