Ok, BD912 (15-amp rating vs 4 amps) comes in a TO-220 case with pinout BCE,
crosses to NTE332 with same case and  pinout...no opinion as to whether
it's a good replacement for the 438 -- but very possible depending on the
source (Mark Drillock or Darrell Boehler for example).  Again, I haven't
even glanced at the electrical characteristics of any of them.
