Thanks for thge replies. I found a very negative review of the GT308V on you tube so I opted against those. I went with a bag of 150 AC125z VI. Let's see what happens ....

General Questions / Re: Russian Germaniums?
April 24, 2013, 06:46:44 AM
Hello folks, I'm new to the forum. I was looking for info on the Russian germanium transistors available on eBay and found this thread. I hope it is not against forum etiquette to revive this thread again but the topic is obviously still relevant.

I am thinking about buying a box of 100 of the GT308V from Gordeluxe. I have several questions:

1. Has anyone bought any of these transistors recently?

2. How did they sound in a fuzz face?

3. How many good ones were there in a hundred?

4. Anyone ever have any troubles buying anything from Russia?

5. Ebay info says that buyers maybe subject to additional fees for customs clearance. Anyone ever have them charge you any fees like this?

6. Does anyone have any suggestions for any other sources for quantities (like 100-150) of germanium transistors useable for fuzz faces currently available?

Thanks for any info you all can provide .
