Original transistors used in the Orange Sunshine?

I was hoping to be able to pull numbers from pics on the web but no such luck. Does anyone have an original Orange Sunshine fuzz? Could you post the transistor types? Thanks!

circuits are rarely designed around a specific transistor. most likely, if you had the exact same transistors it could:
a - still not sound "right"
b - sound the same as using something common like a 2N2222 or something cheap
c - sound worse than using something common like 2N2222

i believe it's a basically a silicone fuzz face that's been slightly tweaked. maybe breadboard a silicone fuzz face and noodle around until it sounds right (most likely what Tracy did anyway). it ain't magic, that's for sure

Understood, thanks but this is more of a curiosity question because I can't find a clear gut shot angle online.
