[TenTec] MPF132?

I think the front end in my Argonaut 509 is dead.  Noise on 80M last 
night was S0 on the 509, the same antenna hooked up to my FT817ND was 
S6-S8...  The 509 still passes signal, but the levels are just way 
down.  When I got the 509, the T/R relay was stuck in receive, so the 
front end being fried wouldn't be surprising.

The front end dual gate FET is an MPF132, is there a source for MPF132s, 
or a substitute available anywhere?  I can't find a cross-reference for 
it anywhere...

Thanks, AJ4LL
