Is there any list available how I can interchange old Germanium-type transistors?
What about the other BIAS when using Silicon transistors?
A general chart list will be fine.....
While it can be useful to replace germanium transistors with silicon ones, especially in new builds, there's also an alternative. Since you're located in Germany, there should be plenty non-whiskery germanium transistors to choose from as non-Philips brands were quite popular over there. Telefunken and Siemens should be just fine. Also imported types from Tungsram.
