Just a question regarding the technical characteristics of Germanium:
I have four vintage germanium AD 161 & 162 transistors which all read just under 100mV voltage drop yet come up as fine on the component tester, so I'm wondering how low can this go with germanium devices and still be ok?
Only asking as I've never seen such a low volt drop...
The ones which are sold in the shops here read around 400mV, so I am assuming these are silicon remakes?
