Another Update: Well I think I made a mistake. Apparantly those diodes were in fact silicon ones. Apparantly a long long time ago a company made "Transitron" branded glass package silicon diodes....

The motorola tv has a total of three of these, two of which were x11 and x12...which I replaced with 1N34a diodes...

What is strange is the photofact part list says they are 1n34a which confuses me. Everything else on the part list matches up. The only things that did not were the lack of a remote control unit or FM/AM radio built in.

It is almost as if they later started putting in these silicon diodes instead of the germanium ones.

Any idea what this is all about?

They are glass painted black with a green arrow on one end and two yellow stripes on the other end.

I could find almost no information at all about these diodes on line and not a single image or photo of them aside from a very old black and white photo of one on a product catalog from the 1960s.

Here are some pictures of what one of them looks like.
