[sci.electronics] Need help with part number

Hi. 
I need help finding a replacement for a SK C2579.  It is in a 3 terminal
package and seems to be part of an ultrasonic oscillating circuit  (for
a bionair humidifier)  I can't seem to find it listed in my ECG book
thanks

It may sound silly, but try looking up the number for a 2SC2579.
Often, the number on the xstr is an abbreviation for the real thing,
such as 2SD45C, which reads as D45C on the package.
