I generally prefer orginal # parts if possible, generally I keep a few numbers that will sub in most cases ie 2sd1399,2sd1879,2sd1880 for dampered HOT and a few sony types for non damper appls. I like to keep the manuals for orginal specs and look up my own cross based on PRV, Ic, and switching time. (I do keep an NTE manual for lookups and emergencies; rember most NTE parts are custom labeled or relabled parts so there is an extra amount of handleing ) But, that is getting long winded to check your FBT there may be several ways; Inspect for cracked case or arks, pull the tranfromer and ring the coil (Sencore had a specialized piece of equipmnet for doing the test but it is pretty pricy, some earlier equipment will do it to depending on what you have, it could be done with a frequency generator and ocillisocpe too but that is a lot of work to set up). Depending on the set bad connections on the driver transformer,fbt,etc, also if a 1 uf cap is used in the timing for the horz stage off the driver transformer they can reduce in value upping the frequency and over working the Transistor or the FBT. Also occasionaly a part elseware can minic a shorted transistor,( RCA's diode from the regulator, Hitachi Blue caps across transistor, Panasonic some can be the cascade diode in the SMPS ...) Of couse there is always the cross your fingers and hope it works, but stand back as the FBT can sometimes throw pieces if shorted in the right area.
