PartsStore.com lists them -- but *damn*, are they expensive little SOBs.

Mouser Electronics (www.mouser.com) has the NTE165, which is supposed to be
a replacement for the 2SD649Q, in stock, and it is a *hell* of a lot
cheaper, so it might be worth trying:

I'd mount it so that it's blowing air into the cabinet and onto the
monitor, since that's generally the biggest source of heat and the
forced-air cooling will help prolong the life of the monitor board.
