Interesting NOS parts find...

Post by Blindog »

I was making small talk with a new co-worker about my amp building habit, and he mentioned that his cousin had a bag of old electronics parts and didn't know anything about them, so I asked him to bring in a couple for me to look at, and gives me the whole bag!

They are mostly resistors as far as I can tell, with a few mica caps and some pots, couple of transisters..all from the mid 60's, and they are all sealed up in foil packets, some in clear plastic bags. Anyone know how to decode the numbers so I don't have to open them all up and measure? Looks like they are all mil spec parts as far as I can tell.

Thanks!

Are there any Germanium transistors?

Good stash of parts.

Brings me back to my job in the Marines as a supply requisitioner using FSN (federal stock number) to order radar and generator parts.

The bag on the bottom left looks like a RV4 pot.
