While browsing through a local recycler, I picked up a crows nest of wires that was part of an old point to point electronic circuit, mainly for the two high quality variable resistors I saw in the mix of parts.
I recently had to replace a variable resistor on a 12v LED light and had to make do with a lower value resistor for the fix, so always looking out for more stock.
Started unsoldered the parts last night and made a rather nice discovery.
The nest contained three old pre-1970’s RCA 40361 TO-5 silicon transistors. 
Quite handy for people restoring older electronic equipment.
I wonder how long this circuit was lying somewhere in a drawer, before it got thrown out.
