I got some of those 2n5089 transistors seen on Aron's store page, and I don't  know what leads are which (I do not have a multimeter). They are hemi-circle in shape, with the middle lead bent slightly back...which leads are B, C, and E, without having a multimeter?

Edit: I figured it out by just trial and error....lol, can't delete thread >_<

about 3/4 of the way down on this page there is a section called transistor packaging that explains this.  Those 2N5089's come in the TO-92 package.  The FAQ has diagrams of all the common pinouts, and you can almost always find pinouts if you look at a datasheet.

google "2n5089.pdf" and you'll find more info than you'll ever need.
