Trouble is AFAIK NTE don't deal over here in UK.

I'm also not certain of the identification as a plastic 2n4249 :-(

It could I suppose be the Fairchild version of the PN4249 (plastic
2n4249),
but not having one to hand I dunno how they are marked.

The NTE 159 is a common type PNP transistor, nothing fancy.
You might have one sitting around somewhere in a scrap item.
See the NTE cross reference for a similar transistor. Besides,
most electronic parts departments have those in stock. Ahemm
even on a small island with little room to spare, like England. :-)

Good luck !

Thank you.

That was my immediate suspicion, but I don't have any specs for that -
can
anyone help with specs for the 2n4249 (assuming that is what it is) or
can
give a definitive identification?

Web search on "2n4249 specification" didn't help much

Industry Number : 2N4249
NTE Device Number: NTE159
T-PNP,SI-AF PREAMP,DRIVER,TO-92
