Alesis Micron JFET sourcing

Post by dratner » Thu Feb 17, 2022 7:47 am

So I have a broken Micron I just acquired. I believe it is suffering from a common ailment, a fried JFET or two. A quick search of these boards and others list the culprit as J111 / JTE468.

I haven't studied electronics in decades so forgive my total ignorance as I am sure this is a stupid question to you gear heads. Is J111 a generic term and JTE468 a brand name version of a J111? Will any J111 work? I found some Fairchild J111 that don't have have a minimum order quantity. So far all the JTE468 I have found have a 10 piece min. which while not outrageous, makes it a little pricey.

I may have to replace the op-amp, TL084 as well.

tl;dr where can I source theses parts on the cheap?

Btw, I live in California

head to Mouser or Digikey to get a j111

So just to be clear, you're saying that any j111 should be fine.

Also, I miss Frys too.
