Heck, I've got a brochure on DEC's "new" PDP-4 computer, and also one for
the PDP-1, and a couple of boards out of a pdp-1! They're built using
"cordwood" construction - two separate PC boards with the components in 
between. Most, like resistors and capacitors and stuff, have one lead in
each board. I don't know about transistors; I don't think they existed yet.
