Philbrick metal case op amps - Click HERE for Original Thread

Hi there!

I have two old Philbrick Researches op-amps lying around that i'm curious about. One is a P65 and the other is a P45AU. Are these rare? I have no idea, but i have never seen anything like them before. From searching the net, i've gathered they were not meant for audio, but analog computing. I also read that these were among the first mass produced solid state op-amps.

I'm trying to decide wether to keep them or put them up on Ebay or something. If there is little demand, i'll probably stick them in a frame and hang them in the workshop, they are kind of stylish :D.

What do you think, could they be valuable or do they only have sentimental value?

Hi Andreas,

the noted analogue guru, Bob Pease, who writes for EDN magazine has written some comments on Philbrick Research op-amps.

See chapter 9 of Analog Circuit Design, edited by Jim Williams, Butterworth Heinemann, ISBN 0-7506-9166-2 (or -0 softcover) where Bob discribes the P2.
