Yes. LTSpice doesn't have an LM6361 or AD848. Linear lists the LT1225
as replacement for LM6361, so I thought this was safe. I deemed the AD848
to be close enough.

But as Bruce mentioned, the LT1225 is not unity gain stable, while the
LM6361 is. That might explain the oscillations.

The datasheet I have found (Natsemi Sept 1995) lists 550 V/V = 0.55 V/mV.
Which I think is a bit low, but then, the opamp is old.
