The NKT275 does seem to be in ridiculously high demand from FX builders. It's nothing special at all, just a fairly low gain AC125/6 type. I can't believe the original builders selected this type for any reason other than it being cheap. It was used in quantities in a number of early 60s British computers, and became obsolescent as the technology moved to silicon so would have had a low price.
