The Internet archive has the ECG replacement guide from 1989, if you wish to look at the HI-DIV-3 data.

I was unable to hunt down any of the ECG Hi-Div-3s. However, I was able to find a Zenith 800-616 kit which replaces the 63-9897 and 63-9898-02. Since the ECG Hi-DIV-3 also replaces those and also the 63-9896, its worth a shot thinking that a 63-9897 will work in place 63-9896.

Not sure if this logic works, but given part availability its worth a shot. I've been trying to find specification information on the 63-9897 to compare to the 63-9896.
