ahpook Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) I had a plastic Watford Valves valve box with all my assorted transistors in it and it's gone. Spare room's been turned upside down (and hoovered...thought I might as well)....nothing I had a brace of BJTs and FETs in there, as well as some germaniums too....acouple of mystery ones salvaged from CFT I was going to make a fuzz out of... I fear the box fell in the bin and got emptied last week.... I feel..........lost. Edited June 1, 2016 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out they were in the couch. Good thing no one sat down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckydog Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 [QUOTE]twincam said: Good thing no one sat down.[/QUOTE] Good for the valves, good for whoever sat down. I bet they've seen everything in A&E, but not that - at least not for a few decades ! Tea and sympathy on your loss, ahpook. Try Cricklewood Electronics, they still stock all the right transistors, you name it....... LD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Gah, there's nothing worse than mass semiconductor loss. You have my condolences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Thanks folks - I'm still looking, hoping they'll turn up, but I'm not hopeful. Edited June 2, 2016 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
