I've seen them on some boards....

Good news is they're less than $2 each, bad news is you have to order 500 (because Mouser doesn't stock them and they come in boxes of 500 from Central).

Also as it happens, someone had replaced F700 on this deflection board with a 10A fuse, so while F600 blew and the Y section is likely fine, a bunch of stuff in the X section got fried.

While I was digging around the internet, I found this incredibly great list of V2000/G05 transistors with some cross references: http://westnet.com/~chris/arcade/g05_transistor_list.pdf Unfortunately, this list is a good 13 years old itself, so the parts it suggests are obsolete as well.

NTE189 is the modern replacement for NTE50, but seem to be extremely expensive ($30) when they can be found at all. I found some folks saying they had successfully substituted MPSA56 for MPSU57, as well as MPSA05 for the MPSU07 at Q607/Q707.
