single transistor projects?

[Dan]

In early to mid 70's, I remember buying bags of surplus transistors from 
Poly Paks real cheap. Then we wired them into discrete logic gates and 
flip-flops to get some rudimentary type of computing device. It was an 
arduous process but a challenging one. But then we saw that TTL chips 
were getting cheaper at Poly Paks so that fad quickly faded.
