apparently during some desoldering, the leads to the offboard diode broke, and I blew a fuse. So while I wait for that to show up, I'm desoldering and testing more components.

How do I tell if a transistor if noisy or bad aside from it being full blown non functioning? Should I be trying to nail down values to the data sheets?

For example I tested Q708 at hFE56, Ube669mV and Ic 6.1. The data sheet for nte128 says hFE should be between 100-300. I think. I'm having a hard time telling which value to use.

I'm just unsure of what I should be looking for.
