Title: Germanium Man!
Post by: rullywowr on April 16, 2014, 10:17:26 PM
Found this advertisement featuring "Germanium Man" in a 1984 data book on Transistors and scanned it into PDF.  Thought you may enjoy.   ;D

Their argument for Ge having an advantage over Si was entertaining as well.

Germanium man looks similar to Spectreman, my Saturday morning cartoon hero.
