I'd try a TL082 and see if that works, it may well do the job.

There's gotta be something equivilant out there, try the parametric search on companies like TI and Analog Devices. There's loads of op-amps out there.

There are a lot of new op amps out there that are already very well trimmed and don't need any external trimming, AND have the same voltage range and pinouts. Use the parametric search engine at
