    Description

    This S-159 Diode is one the Hottest Germanium Diodes That I Have Tested in my Experimenting with CRISTAL SET RADIOS.  These Diodes were made as high reliability epoxy incased snap in, for the use in diode-diode logic Main Frame Computers of the 1950's-1960's.  We made & sold Crystal Radio Experimenters Kits  at the electronic distributor I worked at. I am putting up a few of these diodes up for sale at a discounted price, for you to test, to test the interest in these. I also have some 1n141 Transitron (slightly different specs)
    I may  put some more these kits together again to sell.???  I have shown size next to dime & Diode in socket (not available at this time)  I ONLY SELL & SHIP TO North America.   I SHIP ONCE A WEEK ON Tuesdays.  These are free shipping and will be shipped in an envelope.  Contact me if you have any questions.
