I have seen some information out there.. but have not done validation myself for (2sb717/2sd757) i had seen ONE .. post on diyaudio (2sa1535a/2sc3944a) but no further discussion or validation on that item: https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/solid-state/137849-1300dc-restoration-print.html and here on AK there are a few like : https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/2sd757-c-2sb717-c-transistors.24020/ do you have the beta groups for the items above that may help track thing's down a bit EchoWars discusses it a bit there in Post 5: https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/2sd757-c-2sb717-c-transistors.24020/#post-205533 But given the age of these posts .. likely the replacements are going to need replacements as well.

for sure what i see here is pretty old news, you are going to need someone more updated to help you sort this one out.

Not sure on the first four. Might have to guess and check.
The 5 pins are x2 KSC1845 and KSA992, either connected at the emitter or collector. Unless they're getting noisy, I'd leave them.
