In order to see if maybe I can source these old Soviet PNP transistors, I attempted to join the Russian Radio Cat today. It's a Russian forum of radio engineers and hobbyists. I have no idea if I'll be accepted because I'm not sure if many foreigners join. Plus, sadly the political climate has never been worse but we won't get into that. It may be some of the members can help me locate sources for the Soviet P and MP transistors, although it's not likely. Already from what I gather, germanium transistors aren't in large supply normally in Russia. My impression is they do still make decent valves but silicon has long since taken over the engineering field.
The funny thing about the Russian radio sites is you get a fair few female engineers. I mean, years ago my girlfriend over there was a leading inventor and another friend was a satellite engineer.
