I bought two of each of these Deflection transistors for my vector game and I am wanting to know,which ones go on the horizontal heat sink ,and which ones go on the vertical?
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

If you bought 2 of each, you install them in pairs (one 2N3792 AND one 2N371 (i'm guessing this should be 2N3791) for horizontal, and one 2N3792 AND one 2N3791 for vertical). If you look at existing, you should notice that you have the same two transistors in the horizontal as you have in the vertical... one is the NPN and one is the PNP)
awwwwwwww I already did what you said first and put one of each on both heatsinks. Please tell me this is correct before I fire this thing up.
The SK3836 transistors ..you had one on each heat sink... replace each SK3836 with a 2N3716 in the same spot it was in. Then you had a 2N5876 on one Heat sink and an SYL ECG285 on the other. Replace each of those with a 2N3792 in the same spot it was in.OK, the two on the heat sinks labeled SK3836 get replaced with 2N3716
The 2N5876 (which is original) and the SYL ECG285 get replaced with 2N3792
Check page 35 of the 2nd manual I listed above. It has a troubleshooter for when a monitor trips the breakers. You're going a lot deeper than I had to. One thing..make certain that your bottlecaps (the transistors you replaced..the ones that are the title of this thread) are not touching the heatsink. you do not want to create a short. Other than that, follow the guide with a diode test next.
