Help with Thunderclock parts ID



To my horror, I found that my Thunderclock had developed 
corrosion on the legs of several semiconductors, one of which had 
corroded through.

I'm having a trouble identifying a few components for replacement 
and wonder if anyone who is well-versed in such things could 
help.

A D1 there is a diode that has lost its painted-on markings.  It 
is next to R10, a 10% tol. resistor which has (reading from the 
other end) gray - red - black bands (82 ohms?).

The worst transistor at Q3 is marked:

F2N
3904
EBC

The other at Q4 is marked:

~202/
2N
3904

(The "~" is actually the two National Semiconductor squiggles one 
above the other).

Am I correct that the two transistors are the same:  2N3904, just 
from different manufacturers (Fairchild and National?)?

What would be a likely replacement for the diode?  Would it be 
necessary to ID it from another Thunderclock or could I meter it?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!
