Good idea - my description there did go a bit awry; I meant to write 
something along the lines of 'if the transistor isn't obviously 
faulty...'. Another thing I'll have to remember how to do, I haven't 
tested a transistor since maybe 1990. Oh well. I'll try to refresh my 
memory tomorrow. Don't forget that an interest in classic computers and 
an ability to puzzle through simple schematics doesn't necessarily mean 
someone knows one end of a transistor from the other!

Also, replacing the transistor was something I intentionally left out of 
my earlier mail - the part number is 60304e, both on the schematic and 
the component. Google doesn't know what to do with that, and neither do 
I. Hopefully there will be a close-enough alternative. Does it sound 
familiar to anyone?
