SK7333 (NTE527A?) works fine and I've used it in LOTS of HV units. These
should be very easily found for reasonable price. The only thing is they
are in a
different physical package than the originals; they are "squarish" instead
of
cylindrical and so the original (almost certainly ruined) connectors must be
done
away with and the leads soldered directly to the wires...
