Yes, usually a color dot marks the emitter

That is true for MP transistors. MP40, MP41, MP25, MP37........ Not for the others. For example, P422 and P423 (both present in the VEF-206) has the emitter marked by a color dot, but the central lead is the collector, not the base. You should need to check this page:

You're inside a Faraday's Cage. Radio signals don't like to go throught metal walls
When electrons move, things happen.
