I think when the industry was leaving Germanium Delco elected to not
retool and stay in that business. Probably a wise decision.


Their transistors were once a popular choice for hobby projects CDI
units, there was one even got published in a Ham magazine with the
photo showing the Delco TO3s mounted ontop the box.

It turned up in various other electronics hobby magazines throughout
the English speaking world - possibly even the same author cashing in
as many times as possible.


DTS-423, or something. My dad had built that CDI. Lasted a long time.
