IG-18 Signal Generator - identity of Q5 - follow up

[mike bryce]

boys and girls...

I have several thousand ( I think somewhere around 27 thousand) transistors
on tape that have this goofy pin out..

they're NPN type. got these from ebay a year or so ago thinking I could use
them in some project. but having this odd pin out put the screws to that
idea. I did not know at the time the pin out was "non standard"

I did not want to design a pc board using these transistors.

so if anyone wants some, how about $4 for five feet of transistors plus a
buck for mailing. there's a lot of transistors in five feet of tape.

I've used some of these in the past to fix heathkit products and they work
without hassle.
