Most of us had a trans sister in the bedroom back in the day. Oh no, sorry that was a transistor.

I bought one as a teenager. Must have kept it and used it until well in my 40s. Don't know what happened to it.

Aye, you were lucky. We had to make do with a cat's whisker and lump of iron pyrites. But were 'appy.

We used to dream of a splinter of Galena, we had to make do with the pyrites. If that was hard to come by we'd extract a filling and use that instead.

I think some transistors must have had a “bi-ode” in them. That’s like a diode, but it works both ways.

Many a good tune played on an old tranny.

Mind ... I switched to CD's in the early 80s.

My Father, a radio 'ham' made my first radio when I was about 8. No valves, not transistors, just a crystal with a coil and a capacitor. Medium wave only. had it on my bike sometimes with headphones on.
