2n5089 Alternative PCB082?

[masonlewisdiesel]

I'm out of 2n5089'a for the squidward. What characterisics am I looking for in a possible substitue? I have some S series(ex: s8550), A series(ex: a1015), as well as alot of BC 109,108(a,b,c), 2n2222(metal can), and bc183s. Maybe I should be patient and wait for the order of the 89s?
Thanks

BC108Cs might do the trick. 2n5089's tend to range in gain from 450-1.2k. bc108c will range from 420-800.

Specs are fairly similar. I'd go with those, just mind the pinouts.
