That was my first guess. To which transistor are you referring? I got the schematic from Phil's site, you can find it here:

I obtained a new RF PNP transistor from my brother, in case one of them does end up being bad. And I already have that metal cover off, a 250-watt solder gun helps a lot with jobs like that.
