That PNP transistor is in the protect circuit and prevents the power from turning on. That same circuit is used in many models and for some reason damages that transistor in an unusual way. The voltage is only 12 volts and the transistor is not critical. Practically any PNP transistor will replace it. I suggest you replace it and see what happens. I have repaired many of those with your symptoms just by replacing that transistor. Occasionally there is additional damage, usually a diode and zener in a group just to the left of the transistor (looking from the rear). Sometimes there is also damage in the deck power supply, but then the timer light does not blink.
