Anyway, the part will be a 2SC5450, Japanese transistor codes usually
omit
the '2S' prefix.

Dave, you are my hero! Thank you!


No probs, glad to help :-)

P.S. Does anybody know what the URL is for "partfinder" or
"chipfinder" or whatever the tool is that links to a few dozen
electronic catalogs of parts. I can't find it anymore in my bookmarks
and can't guess the URL, either...


I don't know, but there's a datasheet he
http://www.datasheetarchive.com/sear...450&sType=part

The URL might wrap and not work if you click on it, if it doesn't just go
to:
www.datesheetarchive.com and put 2SC5450 in the search field.
