 What, you want to know what's in my secret stash?!!
 200 to 300V video transistors are pretty amazing.
 They made broadband high-voltage amplifiers, taking
 advantage of the low-capacitance deflection-plate
 load, only a few pF.  Most are gone now, along with
 the CRTs they powered.  But a few are still here.
 To find them I type TO-126 into my 'Everything'
 search engine, maybe adding a voltage like 300V,
 and check their availability on Octopart.

 Whoa, I see we can still buy Toshiba's 2SC5460,
 800V, 2.2pF.  Quest has inventory, $0.39, qty 50.

 KSA1381 pnp 300V 3.1pF 7W Fairchild $0.25 Digi-Key
 KSC3503 npn 300V 2.6pF 7W Fairchild $0.26 Digi-Key
 KSA1142 pnp 180V 4.5pF 8W Fairchild $0.25 Digi-Key
 KSC2682 npn 180V 3.2pF 8W Fairchild $0.11 Rochester
 KSC5026 npn 800V 35pF 20W Fairchild $0.45 Digi-Key
 MJE350 pnp 300V 6.4pF(meas) 21W, multiple sources
 MJE340 npn 300V 4.1pF(meas) 21W, multiple sources

 The MJE340 and MJE350 datasheets don't mention
 capacitance, so I had ignored those for years.
 But eventually I measured two ON Semi parts,
 Cob at 100V, and was pleasantly surprised.
 There's also the MJD340 and MJD350 in DPak.
