Early 2N2146 [ahh NOPE that's 2N4126] pnp, 1000s of the things... what to do?
peteb2:
2N2146.... So i've ended up with around 5000++ 2N4126 T0-92 that've been stored in a burst baggy meaning their legs are a bit dirty needing a simple quick scrape prior to soldering etc....
Ridiculous issue is that even though i've tried to pass out handfuls of the things free, everyone says; "oh pity they're pnp, there aint much yuh can do with 'em, no thanks"...
So, here's a challenge: What's a circuit that'll consume as many as possible of the dang things as possible please? It just seems a terrible waste to just chuck them. They are annoyingly taking up valuable storage space though...

I am in a similar boat with 1N4148 diodes. I must have thousands of them.
Rated 1 A and 100 V, fairly fast.
I also have bags of resistors that aren't what the color code indicates. Whether they are mislabeled or have drifted I don't know.
edavid:
I don't think you mean 2N2146... that's a TO-3 transistor, so 5000 of them would require a really large bag.

Should be able to build just about anything you can build with NPN with PNP. If you have thousands of them it sounds like a discrete digital clock might be a good one.
