Hey just a heads up you can get germanium transistors on alibaba . Put in the part number and up to a week later you will get responses . It cost me about 180 bucks for 200 germanium transistors new old stock . Motorola brand NPN . Out of the 200 I would say half were between 50-100 HFE. About 50 were between 70-120 Hfe  great for rangemasters and some
Fuzz pedals. So about $3.50 each for good ones that’s reasonable . Plus I could sell off the lower gain ones on eBay to recoup some of the money and yes I would post the range is between 20-50hfe for buyers to know what they are getting
