[Elecraft] Safari 4

[Al Lorona]

I had never heard of a Safari 4! That was before I started my QEX subscription. What a blast from the past to see all those old devices: MPF 102s and 2N4427s and MC1496s! 

And NE602s, which are again rumored to be out of production. What will we do without NE602s??

My Mount Rushmore of semiconductors is: 

The 1N34 germanium diode
the 2N2222
the 741 op amp
and the NE602.
