tuner

Hello everyone, I had recently purchased a Technics SA-5360 Stereo amp tuner from eBay. This was after a long break since 2019 I took from my vintage electronics hobby. I used to mainly collect and restore tube based tuners and amps, but recently it has become quite expensive I noticed...

Hi, I am trying to make a simple fm tuner as per the circuit diagram attached. Problem is, BF494 transistors are not readily available in my locality. Hence, I have used 2N3904 transistors as an alternative choice but the tuner doesn't seems to work. Can this transistor be used in this circuit?
