I hate to beat a dead horse ... but this will make you laugh.
MCM finally sent me a note saying that it is normally not in their procedure but they would replace the transistors (ON Semi 2N5416). I felt grateful (let me lick you're azz, MCM). No explanation about the sex change though.
The transistors arrived and I finally got around to testing them ... SAME RESULT. NPN. B-C LOW RES, B-E LOW RES, C-B OPEN.
Maybe I'm loosing my mind, maybe I never had one.
If anyone wants to check these out send me your address.

Your right EW, I probably won't get anywhere with them on email.
I had great luck with ON Semi, they sent me 10 MJ's for the Leach amp for only postage cost. I simply explained what I was using them for.
Allied has a good stock of transistors (at least what I have been interested in) and prices are good.
Digikey is hit and miss and there prices are too high.

I CALLED MCM AND DISCUSSED THIS LITTLE THING WITH ONE OF THEIR TECHS. HE COULD NOT IMAGINE THAT A PROBLEM EXISTED SO I ASKED ON AND THIS WAS THEIR RESPONSE -
Thank you for contacting ON Semiconductor
The 2N5416 device is cancelled since Septemver 1999 and we do not
manufacture it any longer.

Subject: Transistor Problem
Description of customer request:
I have been in discussion with MCM, an online supplier of electronic
equipment, about a transistor type, 2N5416 (PNP), they supplied to me in
September 2006. The label on the collector is ON.
The particular units I received tested NPN. I notified MCM of this
problem and they sent replacements which also tested NPN.
I was since told that ON no longer manufactures 2N5416.
Is this true?
PASSED THIS ON TO MCM AND THIS WAS THEIR RESPONSE -

I checked 6 2N5416 from stock and confirmed they test as NPN. Pulling stock.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
