Thanks Ron -
Yes, from the manual it is an NPN SMT device.

I primarily want to know if I need anything with high gain; fast speed;
or anything else critical.
It looks like a simple emitter follower - with nothing special going on,
but I would like to be prepared properly with the right new part before
tearing the thing apart.

Any further ideas?

Matt

You are aware this is a surface mount miniture transistor mounted on the bottom
of the board? It's a standard NPN surface mount transistor, comes 5 in a pack
available from any RCA distributer. It takes a small iron and steady hand to
replace.

Chassis is CTC 169AJ
Problem is most likely Horizontal Sync Buffer transistor - Q4402, listed
in the manual as "Stock Number 215495"

Anyone know how to find specs on this, what to replace it with, or where
to get an exact replacement?
