The Eniac computer didn't have any transistors when it was built in late 1945/early 1946. It consisted of vacuum tubes and crystal diodes. Transistors were not invented until about a year and a half later in November 1947. And so the answer to the question posed, is that the Eniac Computer had zero transistors when it was originally built.
