Zenith Transoceanic D7000

Hi all,
Got a D7000 on the bench and one of the two transistors in the FM tuner (Q3 and Q4, they are identical) has the famous shielded case shorted to one of the internal elements. Swapping the two transistors around brings the FM back to life again. I remembered reading somewhere about this problem and the article also gave the real transistor number, not just the Zenith part number. I would like to replace the transistors (both) and not just leave them swapped around. Can anyone point me to this information?? Thanks again for your experience and time.
