I had chance today to switch out the components. It worked! Thanks again for all the input.

Thanks for the input. After all is said an done, three BDX33CG are in the mail. Much appreciate members sharing their insight.

The TIP142, in my opinion, may make a suitable substitution.

Thanks for the input folks. I perused the Newark Canadian site and came up with the following:

TIP142 @ $3.26

BDX33CG is a back order but a BDX33C is the cheapest at $1.25.

BDV65BG is no longer available

BVG67B is $5.00

I would like to go with the cheapest BDX33C. What am I losing by dropping the G suffix?

I think the TIP142 could be a good replacement.

Actually, now that I've dug a bit further, I'd probably recommend the BDX33CG - that's got a TO-220 package and in stock in element14 UK (https://au.element14.com/multicomp/bdx33c/darlington-transistor-to-220/dp/9294090). Seems to be a drop-in replacement from what I can tell.

[mention:193ac2434c814a24b46635a2210baec1:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] 's suggestion is an excellent one - another two possibilities would be BDV65BG or BDV67B which seem to be in element14's catalogue in the UK.

But I'm not sure what package your NTE263 is in ... but if it is a TO-220, then these would be larger TO-247 packages which may mean some creative leg-bending or mounting requirements.
