All the rage when CRTs were in heavy use, but dropped like a rock thereafter. Most were in TO-126 packages. You should replace both transistors, and maybe the associated bypass cap, in case it was the problem. I've a good collection of TO-126 video. There's still a modest supply at various places. But if you don't easily obtain replacements, let me know and I'll mail you a few. -- Thanks, - Win
