I believe that the 1854-0332 is a 2N3866A; your 2N5109 should indeed be a very reasonable choice here.
That still leaves us with an order of magnitude discrepancy in output resistance.
By any chance, are you powering your breadboard circuit off of a positive supply? If so, did you reverse the polarity of the output cap?
And is your circuit soldered together, or are you using a solderless breadboard?
