2023-07-12 DC-DC Converters That Used Germanium Power Transistors

Me and my high school friend made a DC to DC converter that would give us 30 or so volts at a couple amps from a 12 volt battery.  We used germanium power transistors which could not go much above 10 kHz.  The Delco’s and the 2N458A’s were our favorites – we managed to push

2021-11-23 Replace Germanium With Silicon Transistors

I also remember those projects that used the CK722 and 2N107. The last few years I have been repairing older transistor radios with germanium transistors. I have had a few of them with bad germanium output transistors, and I’ve replaced them with silicon PNP transistors, along with a change in base bias resistors. They work
