An oscillator!

In the picture of the board there is a Y1 identifier.  That would be for a 
crystal for frequency control. It's possible that it's bent over to the left as 
in the picture but it might also be missing. Transistor substitutions will be 
easier to select with the frequency of the crystal available. It's usually 
printed on the crystal.

I also see L1 which is an inductor. Oscillators are sometimes fussy about 
details: like an inductor to compensate for the input capacitance at the base.

I doubt that there is any difference between 2N4258 and MPS4258 the change 
likely occurred when the Motorola part found use in a military system.
