Insignia TV model IS-TV040925 Question about HOT

[captainvideo462002@yahoo.]

This set has a Toshiba 2SD 2638 as a Horizontal output. My distributor
has Philips 2SD 2638's in stock at 3.95. I have not been able to find
the Toshibas's elsewhere. Does anyone know if its OK to sub the
original Toshiba part with a Philips? This is a 1700V transistor so I
don't want to assume anything. Thanks, Lenny.

"2SD" is a Japanese prefix. I wasn't aware that Philips used anything
other than European prefixes. I suspect that the stock listing is
either an error, or the part is a fake. Or perhaps Philips is now
second sourcing Japanese parts ???
