The good news is that you can buy surface mount JFETS and tiny PCB adapter boards that you can use in their place - although they are not widely available. Hopefully someone will reply with a source for these.

I have found places to get 1000, but not 10 or 20!

I usually order them in batches of 25. Most of them J201's although I have ordered MMBF5457's and some MMBF4393's as well. Although I think currently he's out of adapter boards as I can no longer find the option to include an adapter board.

maybe the time to take matters into our own hands re smd 201 and adapter boards is nigh?

if all interested parties could commit to a given amount at a given price perhaps we approach a small run manufacturer. not sure if this is an oh park thing but it's a basic board. anyway, an idea.
