I've been knocked down for saying this, but I am fairly certain that there were good and bad batches of these transistors? They are either all OK or all bad in my experience. I have a Roberts R700 here with all the original transistors and it works great!
As for your question, they either work or they don't, so when they fail it's unlikely to be the cause of crackles. If they are OK, leave them. That's my philosophy, In a Bush TR82, check capacitors first, especially any with Hunts written on them or the Black + Red Electrolytics.

If we've always had that, why is the car boot open? You aren't smuggling in another old TV are you...?
