Thanks John -- You are the second one to suggest them. Talon is the deal for sure. I ordered two of these parts. Fluke used them in a lot of gear. 

Have any volt-nuts modified the chopper system of the 343A to reduce parts count and improve stability? Seems like a good place for an LT1150, OPA627 or some such to improve overall performance....

Any suggestions on a replacement or an alternative method? This part is the input signal chopper transistor, driven by a multivibrator.
