What would be a good choice for the transistor shown in this schematic?

Yes, of course geranium would be optimal, but I don't know what type.. a
UJT, I think.

Universal Junction Transistor

: Geranium.

Geranium is a flower.
Germanium is an element.

In that circuit, a geranium transistor would work as well as any other. :)

It doesn't matter anyway, the correct answer is Silicone.

Shouldn't I95 be a flux-capacitor?

Ah, but what tolerance? +/-3 milliliters?

Where are you finding 6 inch nails with that sort of tolerance ? Best I can
get here are +/- 10 lumens ...
