[Drake] R-4A 1st oscillator transistor

I think I need a new 2N3394 oscillator transistor for my R-4A. The set
will receive using the FS-4 synthesizer, but not with the internal
oscillator. The cable I was using for connection to the FS-4 has a
crystal housing on the R-4 end of a coax cable which plugs into the
crystal socket deck at the rear of the R-4A. I note that neither side
of the crystal is grounded in the R-4A's schematic, but it gets
grounded when I plug in the FS-4, so perhaps that took out the
transistor.
Does anyone know of a source for the 2N3394, or a good substitute. I'm
not absolutely sure this is the problem, so any other comments or
suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks in advance for any help,
KB8BKU, Darryl
