You must be considerably younger than I am. I've seen lots of them;
designed lots of them. Flip-flops and other logic components were
among the first things to be replaced by transistors. What a relief!!
Of course, transistors and other solid state components never fail, right?
To be honest, transistors almost never fail in switching circuits.
They have near infinite life, as opposed to tubes.
At least when a tube goes bad, it's generally user-replaceable by most owners.
This is definitely not the case with transistors and/or other solid state
parts.
It is to me :-)
