Hi Jim
The full part number is given in the parts list, including what we supply anmd what makes a suitable sub.
When desoldering something like this, it is easiest to add fresh solder, then run the soldering iron tip back and forth across the three pads while gently tugging on the part with pliers. Yes, a brutal method but it saves the holes in the board and the component leads are intact. You can do this with a nurly package like these BJTs have; smaller packages may be sacrificed for the board.
I will send you some new BJTs.
If the resistance is far from zero on any and all lead pairs in both directs, the devices are possibly still good. With an old-style VOM, you will see a low reading one way and a high reading with the meter leads reversed. This is also a way to determine the sex of the device.
