Teledyne Semiconductor Fetron paperweight (late 1960s)
Sold
This lucite round paperweight from Teledyne Semiconductor features their new Fetron device introduced in 1967.
Fetrons were solid state devices that could be easily swapped in place of vacuum tubes and offered higher reliability and lower power use, at a greatly reduced cost.
