How does one tell if a horizontal output transistor is good or not?

Well simple test is to take a OHM meater across any of the leads and test for a dead short in both directions

The H.O.T has 3 pins. I assume that from left to right, the first pin is (B)the base. The middle pin is (C)the collector, and the last pin on the right is (E) the emitter. I first tested the H.O.T. using the analog MM in a 10 ohm setting. There can only be 6 combinations with the test readings as follows where continuity = 0 or some measurable ohms of resistance; no continuity = infinite resistance:
Red lead of mm to B, Black lead of mm to C; the reading is no continuity
Black lead of mm to B, Red lead of mm to C; the reading is + continuity
Red lead of mm to B, Black lead of mm to E; the reading is +continuity
Black lead of mm to B, Red lead of mm to E; the reading is +continuity
Red lead of mm to C, Black lead of mm to E; the reading is + continuity
Black lead of mm to C, Red lead of mm to E; the reading is no continuity
Next the six various combinations were then tested with a digital MM set into the diode testing mode where non-touching leads display a reading of 1 and when the leads are touching the device reads 0:
Red lead of dmm to B, Black lead of dmm to C; the reading is .426
Black lead of dmm to B, Red lead of dmm to C; the reading is 1
Red lead of dmm to B, Black lead of dmm to E; the reading is 0
Black lead of dmm to B, Red lead of dmm to E; the reading is 0
Red lead of dmm to C, Black lead of dmm to E; the reading is 1
Black lead of dmm to C, Red lead of dmm to E; the reading is .426

I am not sure exactly what these results represent! Based on the above test results, is the H.O.T. is good or bad? Would appreciate any feed back.

Thanks, peter

The HOT is probably shorted. You would expect to see a low reading base to emitter but there should be a relatively high front to back reading between the emitter and collector.

I cant work out your results, you are complicating things and adding cofusion. To test the thing take the middle pin stick one probe on it and hold it on, you should get an open circuit to both other pins or about 500 ohms give or take a few hundred dependant on what battery runs your meter. Now if it was open circuit reverse the leads and now its 500 ohms. Forget the external pin readings. The vast majority or these go dead short from collector to whatever so a dead short from the middle pin is all you need look for to be bad, otherwise its OK. What continuety means by your definition , who knows.
