Have you looked on Ebay for the originals? all the transistors are on 
sale there.

The other thing to look at is to test the transistors; many inexpensive 
multimeters have a transistor tester as standard.
What makes you think that it is the transistors to blame?
Generally on older technology the electrolytic capacitors drift with 
age, that would be one of my first things to look at.
