In early to mid 70's, I remember buying bags
of surplus transistors from
Poly Paks real cheap. Then we wired them into discrete logic gates and
flip-flops to get some rudimentary type of computing device. It was an
arduous process but a challenging one. But then we saw that TTL chips
were getting cheaper at Poly Paks so that fad quickly faded.
...not to mention the wonderful quality of Poly-Paks parts. Still,
it was a very cheap way to get some ICs at the time, some of which
actually worked. ;)
