Smallbear and Mammoth I think both have them.

You can use a 2n5457 or MPF102 if you have one. Or, if you are in the States I can drop a couple in the mail to you.

Thanks everyone for your help. Brian thanks for your generous offer to send me one. . I bdis buy a couple from Tayda off of ebay for only $1.89. I also found out that NTE makes an equivalent NTE458 but it's 7$ at Fry's . Just ridiculous. FYI. Small bear does not have the J201.
