Re: [ATM] Aging atm's (1950's)



Geranium, Geraminium, two words that I have trouble both speaking and
spelling for some strange reason.  Ah, well.
I didn't know of that particular transistor but it does sound quite
plausible.  I guess that they quickly went to metal cans instead of clear
glass due to that photoelectric effect on the transistor (who wants to have
their amplifier recognize the 120Hz from the lights in the output?) and that
is pretty much where I started in electronics.  I'll note that valves sounds
so plumbingish.
