There were no transistors inside of Apollo 11. The onboard computer used simple electronic circuitry and integrated circuits, known as "Diode-Transistor Logic" (DTL).
Apollo 11's guidance computer, known as the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC), contained around 3000 NOR logic gates, each made up of 4 transistors, so approximately 12,000 transistors in total. However, it's crucial to note that these figures are very approximate and may vary depending on which systems/components you're referring to within the spacecraft. The whole of Apollo 11, including all its systems, would have contained many more transistors.
