The reason I ask is that if those readings were on, say a BC547, then I would consider it failing...
and the high voltage, high amperage, transistor field is not my comfort zone.
I would imagine it would work, but unless someone knows different, then I'm not mad on having such an imbalance in the transistors, as I am fairly sure that the new transistor (C4237) will read 0.600+ on from B to both C & E pins.
