Testing another one of 'those' tin whiskery transistor shows the following on my DMM
Negative to base, testing to
- Emitter = 153kOhms
- Collector = 9.6kOhms
Positive to base, testing to
- Emitter = 13MOhms
- Collector = 47KOhms
Negative to Emitter, testing to
Positive to Emitter, testing to
Screen shows OC between BCE.
Interestingly my Peak Atlast component tester does indeed say there's a shunt between base and emitter (but doesn't suggest that's the case for the other pins). Another transistor was so much worse that the Peak wouldn't read it
