I recently had a need for BC308 transistors. Of
course those have been
unobtanium for quite some time.
My search beyond a distributor then went to eBay where I found Unicorn
Electronics.
More to the point I see from their website Apple 1, Apple ][ and Apple 1a
Kits along with Apple 1 and Apple II parts are available.
I thought some here might find this useful.

Don, unicorn is known for long for interesting old semiconductors. I
have also ordered several parts from there, even from Europe which
result in rather high shipping and tax costs. Whether the Apple kits are
a good deal though, I have my doubts.
The BC308 is the PNP complementary part to the former NPN work horse
BC238. Both are nowadays difficult to find. However, as they were rather
universal types, you can usually replace them with BC548 (NPN) and BC558
(PNP) today without problems.
