Have a KLH21 with bad outputs. They are TO-220 germanium types.
Can't find gemaniums anywhere. Any ideas what to do?
Thanks

be packaged in a hermetically sealed package. If a germanium device was

The parts are house numbered. I can't cross them to anything.

should be able to measure one and you will find that the junction will
have about 0.6V across it, hence it's a silicon device.
Measure the supply voltage and get some high power silicon transistors
in the TO-220 package that have a higher voltage rating than the supply
voltage. Or maybe change to the TO-3P plastic package, which is rated
for more than a hundred watts with a decent heat sink.

Are they so shorted that you can't measure any of their junctions? You
should be able to measure one and you will find that the junction will
have about 0.6V across it, hence it's a silicon device.

Don't suppose it's ever occurred to you that some of us might have
salvaged germanium transistors from old gear and stashed them away.
I probably can't help cause the ones I saved look like a TO-220
with a tab out each side instead of the top.

package that had the chip in contact with the plastic or silicone
package, as is usually done with silicon devices.
Some manufacturers, Raytheon may have been one, made very small
germanium transistors for hearing aids. I have read that Raytheon later
made the CK722 and its sisters in a smaller package that was then
repackaged in the normal CK722 package so that it conformed to their
product line. Check out the X-ray picture on this web page
http://www.semiconductormuseum.com/CK722/index.htm
And this web page http://www.ck722museum.com/page6.html
So you may be able to find germanium transistors that will fit in the
space of a TO-92 package.
See these URLs for more info.

A bad output is a symptom that can be caused by faults anywhere or

There were very few TO220 parts in existence when the KLH21 desk-top
FM radio was made, but germanium transistors were common. Power stages
often used TO-1 or X-04 germaniums for a couple of watts output.

I don't think that K&H uses germanium again in newer designs.
I would expect that the BD243B-BD244B types of transistors
would do the job as they are state of the art in the mid seventies.
Google for BD243 and you find the farichild data sheet.

Maybe there a confusion between "german" and "germanium"???

Ah! That is what we call "silicone".
"Silicon" = Si, the element
"Silicone" = large molecule Si compounds
At least in American English, today, at the current phase of the moon

Correct. How about Dow Corning, rather than GE, too?
