Mooooojo?

Nice!

I would be scared I'd damage the transistors during the pull, so I'm impressed. Looks like a Tagboard layout! Love them.

Yes I was very fragile with those trannies. I didn't pull out or jam it in too hard

And made sure it didn't get too hot. That sounds dirty

This is super cool. I have an old retro radio that I want to pull the trannies from, but it is functioning perfectly so i'd feel bad doing it. UGH!

I know the old radio i used was working i felt bad but i broke down and tore it apart.

Nice work. That radio case would make a hella cool headphone amp.

Didn't even sockets those boys, you just licked them and jammed them in didn't you?
