My expectations, from browsing many data sheets, is that the pinout of
any three-terminal device is pretty well standardized:

Pin 1: random
Pin 2: random
Pin 3: random

Even the pin numbers can be random. I've seen all possible
permutations of 1-2-3 on various SOT23 parts. We use the "Motorola"
convention, and force any parts that we use into it.


So, maybe the 2N7000 is a little randomer than you thought -- it's still
normal.

All you need is a ohmmeter to discover/verify the pinout.
