Finally found some 1n34a and one of my new favorite sites!!
Not many people here are repairing things that need germanium
semiconudctors.
You do realize that while the 1N34 was an early diode that somehow made it
into hobby circles, for most of the decades since it's merely been used to
indicate "small signal germanium diode". There isnt' a lot unique to it,
and since most of the articles specified "1N34", the outlets needed to
indicate that they had it, or a reasonable facsimile. For that matter,
after a while, "1N34" became shorthand in the articles for "small signal
germanium diode". You needed that low forward voltage drop, and beyond
that, most of the time nothing else mattered.
My stash of germainum diodes are mostly unmarked. I have no idea what
they are, and it really doesn't matter. If I need one, one will likely
work as well as another.
"!n34" is like "365pf variable capacitors" or "am loopsticks" or a lot of
common transistors. They define a part, rather than a specific part.
