The transistors used in the WG / Amplifone monitors are a slightly better cross
for the Cinematronics transistor. (A little bit more current handling and a
slightly higher breakdown voltage if I recall).

They'd be your best bet, and are a slight improvement over the originals.

Buy a Zanen WG kit and get a bundle of them.

While your looking, also keep an eye out for the DAC-800. This is a better
spec'd pin for pin monolithic replacement for the DAC-80, and works fine (or
even better) as a direct replacement. In either case (DAC-80 or DAC-800) be
sure you get the voltage versions of these chips, (Must end with a "-V" not
"-I").

DigiKey claims to have 186 LF13331Ns in stock and want $7.49 a piece for them,
quantity one.
