I have not done a lot of refurbishing but have encountered 2SC458 two or three times. In my case they were in Akai tape recorders but I understand they were widely used by the industry in general.
Something I noticed though was that transistors designated 2SC458 could be either a square package with a sloped top or cylindrical with a flat front. It confounded me at first because oddly, their pin outs were mirror images of each other.
