What to do with Russian low-gain MP37 Transistors?
So I randomly(stupidly) ordered some germanium transistors off Ebay, without doing research first. I now have a ton of MP37 transistors, which were super cheap, but they seem to be too low gain for anything I've built. They just don't have much in them. What should I do with these? Trash? I can't think of anything that they would work for. Any suggestions? They do look cool. Haha.

This could have been interesting if you had:
1) mentioned the seller - so other won't make the same mistake
2) mentioned the gain (5-120Hhfe says datasheet)

The seller was bg2014-manue. I can't say they did anything wrong, my own ignorance cost me about $6. The Hfe seems to be about 15min. Well, the good news was there were some random other transistor that came in the package that worked for other projects I had. So not a total waste.

First they could be used as clipping diodes, second if the leakage is low enough you could use them as a darlington pair.
