2SD880 and TIP29 have different characteristics but I don't know which parameter is being challenged in this specific application.
It would not be a problem for me to get back to you with a list of equivalent parts from your preferred supplier if you were OK with ordering and waiting.

Yes, the circuit is pretty much the same for all the datasettte drive circuits. TIP29 should be fine in a VIC.

The TIP29 has a lower gain than the 2SD880. It appears to be switching the power for the cassette port. Either one should be usable for that.

Question for the #VIC20 savvy human beings: can I just desolder the TIP29 transistor from one of my C64 spares boards and use it to replace Q4 on the VIC-20 (originally an 2SD880)? I believe they originally used the 2SD880 on the C64, too? (Too tired to dig out another C64 board to have a look…)
