No doubt. I was hoping they had a reasonable price and were willing to 
sell me 100 of each part number. Looks like the other transistors 
mentioned will be the ones to use. Wish I could have found those Zetex 
transistors last night as I would like to go back and test them knowing 
what I know today and see if they are a good replacement. I recall the 
pair I used for a long time working perfect. Something eventually fried 
them. Could have been lightning to close. Over the years the beacon 
would eat a single transistor every so often, so I would take both of 
them out and replace them with whatever I had at the time.
