You probably don't have to worry about replacing transistors until you finish the recap. If you find that a transistor should be replaced it must be replaced with the same type, either PNP or NPN. Like Ron noted above, you will have to purchase a substitute, as your original is no longer made. That's where caution should be used. You'll find several equivalent replacements and maybe several "close" replacements that may work.
