As I am progressively learning more about the technical aspects of the hobby the thirst for knowledge is getting larger. That said, even though the original 1969 transistors are no longer made I do have a few older radios that have them in them, though the radios are dead is there a way to...

I hate being poor.

I don't have a clue, I used what I had laying around

I have them on my Kenworth, I really like them.
