What to do with low gain Ge transistors?

I have a few AC128 and AC188 transisters. I have three in the 100 hfe range which will be good for a few projects. But I have about 7 more that are low gain, ranging from 43 to 57. I'm looking for some suggestions, what kind of projects would these be good for?

As for details I measured them all using the system outlined by RG. the group measured:
AC-188
  Gain Leakage
1) 1.62  0.44
2) 1.00  0.46
3) 0.68  0.24
4) 1.71  0.59
5) 1.22  0.40

AC128
6) 0.88  0.31
7) 0.68  0.25
8) 0.68  0.22
9) 0.78  0.24
10) 2.92  1.88
