THose sets back then didn't seem to be as critical for HOT subbing as the sets now do. That doesn't mean to say just anything will work either. I seem to recall using ECG389 in some of those older sets. Maybe look up the specs on that one. I doubt the 2SC1308K was an original because RCA always used their own house numbers on the HOT's.
