These obsolete TO-66 package transistors like the 2n3584 in a Bally / Stern high voltage section are becoming harder to find and when you do they are pretty expensive. Here is how you can mount a TO-220 package transistor with minimal modification.
I am using a Russian made KT859A NPN transistor in a TO-220 package. Rated 3amp, 800v, Hfe>10. I found them for around a $1 each. BUX84 is another good part number. If you cut the middle leg of the transistor you can use the metal tab as the collector and mount it just like the TO-66 transistor. I have seen some transistor have an insulated tab which makes mounting more difficult, so check specifications.

Heat in this setup is very minimal. Hardly gets warm to the touch after hours being turned on. As you can see from the back side, no tricks in mounting it.
Fun fact about these driver boards. If R51 is burned, you can assume all three HV transistors are bad.
