Fixing up an old Stylophone 350S, and some of these these transistors came desoldered from the board. Can't find anything on the internet so far, is this before standardization in the coding? Markings say: E5383. Is this the same as a 2N5383? Any help would be appreciated!

Since you have four to test.

1. First try to identify what type they are, if indeed they are functioning AND they are common Bi-Polar (PNP or NPN), e.g.,:

OR

2. If that works, then measure the Gain (beta) with a cheap multimeter, which does transistor testing, the meter will show which leg goes where once you have identified them.

3. You should if all goes well have FOR EXAMPLE identified the type:

e.g., type = NPN

AND beta = 350

USE a standard BC549B, which is an NPN and has a BETA of:

200 < BETA < 450
