[Milsurplus] Germanium to silicon

[Ray Fantini]

Beware! lots of old germanium circuits relied on leakage for bias. I have replaced germanium with modern transistors in dividers and primitive logic gates and they sometimes work but cannot imagine what would happen in small signal circuits. although the internet is full of articles on how you can replace all the tubes in a radio with a couple fets and get equal performance so I am told anything is possible.
