The spidery type component showed in your picture was an integrated
circuit
that mounted into transistor-like physical. I believe the part number
is top of the cover that hide by against the board. It could be
multitransistor
in one physical appearance.

In early days of intergrated circuit chips tend mounted on transistor
type hardware
before they revised into new physical shapes as today.
