Thanks to everyone who has replied. I now know it's a 36V 5W zener, I
also know a place I can get one (not that expensive either).
But I would still an equivalent for 'Towers International Transistor
Selector', but for Zners, useful. One for SCRs/thyristors/triacs/etc
would be useful too. Does such a thing exist?
The
actual device I am looking for info on is a 1N5365 , but knowing=20
where to look in future would be useful.
That's a 36V 5W zener. I usually look things like that up on
Farnell's=20
website -- just go to
http://uk.farnell.com/ and type the part number=20
This only works if Farnell stock the part in question :-). I didn't
expect the original component for a 30-year-old printer to be avaiablke
that easily. Farnell also sell the 2 power transistors that failed at the
same time (2N5884 and 2N5886 -- they're not cheap, but they are available.

The old TI Diode/Transistor data book is one book that you are looking
for...unfortunately it was published in something like 1975 and you will
have to track one down. It lists diodes, including Zener, Tunnel,
Rectifier, and others - fat sucker at around 300 pages or so. It is at
my shop so I can't give you the exact title, size, or year.
Motorola data books from the 70s and 80s covered diodes quite well -
nice pictures of the diode and comparison rated by voltage and wattage...
ECG/TCG catalog is a third option...
