Newbie: Help finding replacement diode and transistor

Hello newbie here need some help finding some replacement parts for my Sony Bvm-1910. I found some on ebay but alot of the feedback says that the parts are fake. Rather use mouser/digikey/a reputable company, if possible, could get away with using an smd as well. Thanks!

Any of these should be good for the 2SA109: Here

Seems like any diode with a forward voltage 0.8 has moved in type from through-hole to SMD.

You can try NTE, but I've always heard they are expensive. Here

For the 1SS119, it looks like the diode is used to temperature compensate the B-E of transistors. In this case only the forward voltage drop is important. The speed of the diode is not but I would stay with a fast diode. The capacitance is not.

I would consider the 1N4148 or 1N914. The forward voltage drop is slightly different, looking at 25C and 1mA.
 
The circuit looks 'similar' to a push pull audio amplifier, and such bias compensation diodes are EXTREMELY critical - and you MUST use the exact original types (or it's likely to self destruct again). For that reason Vbe multipliers are a far better solution.

However, this circuit is only low power, and uses 56 ohm emitter resistors, so thermal runaway isn't going to be an issue - so I would imagine it's not particularly critical at all in this case.

More of a concern is what happened to it? - was it physically damaged?, as it's unlikely to fail.

Take the feedback seriously. Buy from a reputed manufacturer/supplier.
