Were  those perchance round Delco germanium power transistors, perhaps the 
same  ones that they used in 1960's GM car radios?



I dont think so Dale. I believe the Delcos in the 316F were silicon.  Very 
thick substrate and rated at 350 volts C-E breakdown voltage. As Joe  Sainton 
and J Fred Riley used to say....they were a brick wall.
