Bad news : Ua726 depleted

[Mike Granger]

I know this is a long shot, but there was a part manufactured by National
Semiconductor with a part number : LM726; ( I think) and it was supposedly the
equivalent to the uA726. This part was not manufactured for a long time, but
stock of it might exist somewhere. Just a thought.
