This receiver is more than 40 years old. Many parts will not be replaceable but 2SC1111 TO3 output transistors are apparently still made by Inchange (ISC) in China. They seem to be good quality parts but I think even genuine 2N3055, selected for medium or better Hfe, could also work in this design. Alternatives shown on the schematic are 2SC793 & 2SC1030.

Note that if the output transistors are shorted, the drivers Qe114 - 117 will most likely also be blown, if not more transistors will also be damaged, back as far even as the input. Check them all before applying power and use a Variac, light bulb limiter or dropping resistors in the mains supply to prevent a repeat destruction of the new parts.

I guess you are aware that electrolytic capacitors will be useless after so many years, even in cool climates. Make sure you replace them if not already done - before hitting the power button.
