Original INDUSTRO branded PNP germanium transistor PART 2N1471 housed in a vintage metal can package. Unlike later silicon devices, germanium transistors are prized by restorers, collectors, and experimenters for their unique electrical characteristics, lower junction voltage, and historical significance in early solid-state electronics.

This transistor has been individually bench tested by RF Boneyard™ and verified for gain, junction behavior, saturation performance, and leakage characteristics. The measured base-emitter voltages are consistent with germanium transistor technology and demonstrate the distinctive lower forward voltage associated with vintage germanium devices.

Whether used for restoration of classic electronics, vintage audio experimentation, collector inventory, or engineering evaluation, this INDUSTRO transistor represents an increasingly difficult-to-find piece of semiconductor history.
