"Would the NTE288 also be a better replacement for the 2N3716 in a WG6100"
I'd suggest checking with a distributor for pricing on modern silicon
T03 power transistors before paying NTE prices. Mot had some pretty
impressive parts last time I looked.
Proper failure analysis needs to be done on these displays. Speculation
a few years ago included reverse junction breakdown due to inductive
spikes from the yoke as well as overtemp from high deflection currents.
re: 2n6259 AFAIK, these transistors are no longer in production from
the people that orig made them (RCA?)
