NKT 275 Transistor Print

[1bottlerocket]

Hey all,

I wanted to ask about the printing on two different NKT275 transistors on a couple of Cornell First Fuzz pedals. Is this just a difference in labeling throughout the years or could one be a relabeled transistor and one original? Thanks for any advice or opinions.

On the first pedal you can see that the transistor label is all on one line:


In the second photo, the NKT 275 printing is much larger:

Based on what I've learned from analogman I believe the bottom ones are real and the top ones are relabeled ones based on the font size and thickness

Both Cornell first fuzzes?

Yes, both are Cornell First Fuzz builds. One is a deluxe version and the other is a standard version, whatever that means.
