I searched my boneyard and found a 35" Toshiba chassis with a 2SD2253 HOT. Seemed similar application,similar chassis,mfgr,etc. I entered the 2sd2253 salvage HOT into Tritronics' parts database and tho it did not show a direct cross to the original 2SD2553, it DID show a common toshiba number# 23314955 that is common to both HOTs. And is available at $5.89. I tried it. Fix was to replace the GMA 1.6A B+ fuse, the HOT and set is functioning well, HOT cool. Seems these Toshiba 2sd2253s do sub for the orig 2SD2553.
