Default 2N60B substitute?

Any numbers i can substitute for this?
From a compaq pc power supply and this supply is
very expensive, so it's worth to try fixing.
After fixing i test in an old PII so if it blows, i don't take
the good machine down.

No way that's a 2N60B! The part numbers in that range were allocated
around 1955 or so, and all those germanium transistors were obsolete by
1962.

I'd slip in a whole new power supply. At $30 to $90 it's cheaper than
trying to fix an old one.

BTW there's a 79% chance there's more wrong with the old PS than just
this blown transistor. How are the other semiconductors? How are
those electrolytics? How's the FAN?
