buying transistors.

[aran.e666]

Long time since I've posted.  Ive been really busy ...anyways im having trouble as I cant seem to find some transistors (old germanium) I live in the uk so its a pain to order from U.S etc. Also the svero layout for the harmonic percolator states 'germanium diode' what is recommended as im no good when it comes down to diodes  . Any help would be greatly appreciated . Tech help or not, I know this is a very very helpful place for help . Thanks

Typically the Harmonic Percolator diodes are 1N695s, as per the pepperspray doc

As far as where you'd find them in the UK/EU, meh, might be a bit of a stretch.  Dr. Tweak, Banzai Music, and Musikding all carry some germ trannies and diodes, but iirc, their selection isn't great.  Pretty sure Banzai only carries AC125/127/128 and 1N34A/1N60s, and pretty sure Musikding is about the same.  Smallbear is really the only place you could probably reliably find the right stuff, they won't be cheap, and the shipping will be high.

You might try Paul (chromesphere) in Australia, good guy, very reasonable International shipping. Placed an order with him last week.
