Going on past experience, I wouldn't trust NTE's generic equivalent lists further than a toss into the rubbish bin. On the other hand, I'd agree that Onsemi do know what they're talking about for near equivalents within their own product range.
If you can´t find an "equivalent" list, find one by matching case and pinout, and searching manuals and datasheets for same/better Vce ; dissipatiobn ; Current .
Datasheet: Motorola - datasheet pdf
it´s an OLD transistor; most probably dicontinued for a long time
Specs are easy to meet: Vce 60V ; 10W dissipation ; 2 A BUT case is wonky and pinout EBC
Tell us more: is it mounted on a heatsink?
Can you post the schematic?
Are you repairing an amp or trying to build a circuit you found in a magazine?
IF it´s freestanding on a PCB an easy to find BD140 might do, but BCE pins should be twisted to fit EBC holes and of course it won´t fit a heatsink.
Uncommon pinout will be more problematic than electrical specs.

I ordered some 2n5682 from newark.com last year. Npn in a TO18 metal case, EBC, 10 W with a heat sink. Vceo is 120 v. Newark is farnell of the US.
