That's why god made oscilloscopes, Tony :) But really, a well-designed
circuit will work with a wide variety of devices, as the two enemies of
humanity--purchasing managers and device tolerances--will always be
there to bedevil us.
If an MJE13007 doesn't work, try another. If not that, try, say, a
BU406. I seem to recall that some early Macs would work with an
MJE13007 just fine, but others of the same model required the BU406.
Personally, I don't think that Zenith would ever make the mistake of
requiring selected semiconductors on what is essentially the video
section of a TV set, something that they made in the millions. The
service manual for the DT2 certainly makes no mention of it.
In any case, the monitor itself is not in any particular danger of being
destroyed by an out-of-spec HOT, so there's little risk involved.
