Came in today. As noted in the intro section last week--this one appeared too clean to be original. But took her apart and the pot codes are 134 6806 and 134 6801. Centralab pots with 1968 codes as far as I can tell. The short hat knobs are metal with the V and T markings as well as M's on tops. Trannies are RCA 2N408 and RCA 2N2613.
I thought the germanium transistors (are these germanium?) would be warmer than the silicon I've heard, but this one is as nasty and snarly as can be! In time warp condition---hard to imagine how it survived in this shape. Most originals I've seen pics of are usually battered up pretty good.

Re: Fuzz Rite arrived!
Congrats!
Yes those transistors are germaniums. The design is such that the signal is basically square-waved, so the differences between germanium and silicon will not be as dramatic as in something like a Fuzz Face.
I'm surprised at the 1968 pot date, as I would have guessed the germaniums would have been phased out by then. Perhaps you have one of the last production runs of the germaniums.
