Do you remember the Ediswan 'top hat' transistors. Little black things
with a ring round them that made them look like a miniature top hat.



I think I might still have one or two of those... They were common in
early logic gear. You could also get them in a grey, unpainted metal.

How about the flat, rectangular "gold" cans? I don't know who made them,
Newmarket, I think. Green & yellow spots indicated AF and red & white
spots indicated RF.
