These are in 363 packages which are very small (0.026" lead spacing, 0.012 lead width). I've made some adapter boards for them but haven't tried them out yet. Thought they would be some thing to make a discrete VCA with.

Piece of cake.  I made the boards, used an eyedropper full of solder paste
to touch each pad, then dropped the transistor and a tempco onto the board.
Quick pass with the rework gun and they're soldered.  ( rework gun was $50
at the swap meet ).

If I can find a place to make these boards for me, I'll probably go into
production :-)
