[volt-nuts] Fluke 343A part

[Pete Lancashire]

I've used Talon as well, their prices are usually only affordable by
taxpayers via their respective governments but like this one they have
surprised me in the past. One time they sent me the wrong part and
they sent me the replacement and asked at
my convience to send the other one back

>> I picked up a fairly new Fluke 343A and it appears that Q39, MEM556C p-chan. enhancement-mode MOS-FET is shorted. This part seems to be unobtanium unless you are named Romney, Gates, or Walton. Any suggestions on a replacement or an alternative method? This part is the input signal chopper transistor, driven by a multivibrator.
