[AMRadio] transistor marking

[John Coleman, ARS WA5BXO]

I have a lot of new small signal transistors in plastic.  They appear to
be the same size as a NTE123AP or NTE159.  On the flat side they are
marked EBC only, nothing else.  On the round side they have 3 color
marks across.  The top is also colored. I tried cross reference as
2Nxxxx where the XXXX was the color code of the 4 colors but it did not
cross to anything that resembled these. I can of course identify the
NPN-vs-PNP and probably get some measurement of HFE and avalanche
characteristics but it would be nice to be able to properly identify
these things and get better info than just what I can measure.  

Any Ideas
