The only problem is my unit uses germanium transistors and what RS has is silicon. I know there's a chance that the silicon ones won't work; but, I'm willing to give it a try before paying almost $10 + shipping for the NTE126 transistors.
VERY likely the silicons will not work (or not work well), as any biasing or AGC probably will be wrong, but not too expensive to try just in case.

Don't understand your test (reading volts rather than ohms)? Some ohmmeters may apply too much voltage for testing b-e junction of germaniums, I think.
