   Matches the description for a 2SA1160 (or perhaps 2SA1160-B), Toshiba
   silicon PNP in a TO-92MOD case.

   Looks like a Zetex ZTX749 might do the trick, if you don’t mind
   crossing the leads over to deal with the altered pinout… Digikey has
   these for under $0.80 each.

   http://www.cpcares.com/ lists the exact replacement parts for about
   the same price.  Haven’t dealt with them myself.
