Does anyone have any luck with the cheapish Russian NPN germanium transistors on ebay? In particular, for a screwdriver-esque type circuit? Im looking at the GT404G, MP35, MP38, etc, anyone try any of these?
MP38A is great.
MP38, on the other hand, is too low-gain for many applications. However, really low gain transistors sound excellent in Q2 of a buzzaround.
Unfortunately I bought a bunch of MP38's. Could these be used in a darlington configuration to increase the gain?

Sure.
Do you think the Cosmopolitan would be a good candidate for this?
Do you know, is there a logic to the A, B, D, G, V etc codes/suffix, in the transistor names?
Hey nieradka,
I apologize. I got all excited about being able to do something with my transistors and hi-jacked your thread.
No problem, Hijack away. Its not a big thread.

None that I've been able to identify, but that doesn't mean that there isn't. In the Russian alphabet, it would be A B V D G in order, but they don't increase in gain by going up.
