Thanks for all the help. I do have a couple of BC 109 but I thought with
all the work to carefully disassemble the unit that after 30 years there
would be a better transistor.
Thanks again

Generally speaking, the baseband noise of a bipolar transistor is
most strongly influenced by the transistor's base spreading
resistance. Of course, the transistor also needs to have whatever
other characteristics are required in the application circuit -- in
particular, adequate current gain and transition frequency at the
operating point and sufficiently low input capacitance -- and these
may be mutually exclusive with lowest base spreading resistance.
The 2SD786 and MPSA18 may be good candidates. That said, I seriously
doubt you will get usefully better phase noise by using a "better"
transistor in this location.
Best regards,
Charles
