How hot the HOT?

Degrees centigrade; the transistor is not too hot to touch but notably
hotter than another working unit with the original CRT.

If it's not too hot to hold your finger on it (insulated of course!), it's
probably OK. Did you install it with heatsink compound and/or a heat
conducting pad?
