Nixie tube driver transistor substitute.

I am repairing a 1969 Toshiba nixie tube calculator and have identified a dead power transistor which was the cause of a dead nixie.
I'm looking for a replacement / substitute but not having much luck.
Does anyone know if there is a modern equivalent available for this transistor?

Or is there another way I could drive the nixie with modern parts? I don't have any schematics for the calculator unfortunately.
Thanks in advance.

MPSA92 will probably work as a substitute for the 2SA429
MPSA42 is it's NPN compliment and is commonly used with nixie tubes.

What about the MPSA43.

You don't want the NPN compliment to this PNP high voltage transistor. Check out this list.
