When I see those ECG numbers, they just scream at me. 
 
I have an ECG(c) Master Replacement Guide. ECG, as far as I can tell, 
is a supplier of a wide range of replacement components geared toward 
the service industry. That you found a piece of equipment chock full 
of them comes as something of a suprise. Maybe someone replaced all 
of the transistors in your equip with ECG part (I did that once, was 
caught away from home with a piece of equipment I had to fix) but 
more likely the ECG numbering system is some sort of standard or ECG 
is more of a supplier than I thought. A company called NTE also 
makes or remarkets xistors using the same numbering system. 
 
Sylvania, Philips, ECG, NTE, RCA. There has recently been some sort 
of corporate implosion I forget the details of.
 
You want crosses for them? Could probably give you hundreds. My guide 
is set up "the other way 'round", you look up a 2N part number and you 
get back an ECG number. The cross may be a bit fishy. The guide also 
gives pretty complete specs for each part. At least some of the parts 
you mention are familiar right off. 
 
You ought to be able to get this same guide or the similar NTE version 
at one or another parts stores near you. Thje places that supply TV repair

parts. And of course you should be able to buy the parts there, by name.

E-mail me if you still want specifics.
