Title: Common places to look for Ge transistors?

I'm curious. What kind of electronics should I scavenge for to try and find some Ge transistors? Not really thinking I'll go out and do it, but the thought has piqued my DIY curiosity ;D

I know they aren't Ge but the 2n2907 from Tayda sound almost exactly like my supply of 2n404's. With the 2907's and a handful of good Ge Russian parts I don't look for trannies anymore but I do keep an eye out for the occasional deal on a few Ge pieces. At a quarter each it's hard to go wrong with the 2907 though.
