For the AG-35, it's a 2SK121Y. Not sure about the AG-25.
As others have mentioned, because of the proximity of the relay, one of the
easiest ways to replace it is to cut the leads on the old device, then bend
& trim the leads on the new device to "straddle" the old leads & solder
away. Way easier than removing the relay...
