You need an N channel JFET. Only replacement I have seen is an NTE312.
Radio Shack used to stock them in the stores, now only online.

Here is a tutorial on the junction field effect transistor or JFET:

I've got the 2SK152 datasheet on my ftp directory on ftp://ftp.eskimo.com
in the user directory for "mzenier", "Sony2SK152.pdf" . (They moved stuff
around on my ISP, so I don't remember the full URL).

It was designed for the head preamp for VCRs, so maybe the OP can
arm wrestle somebody for an old Beta VCR and find one in there.
Extreme anti-static precautions apply.

There was an small outfit that used semi foundrys to produce a variety of
small signal FETs and other strange stuff (at a price). I think that
they had the 2SK152. "Interfet"?

NTE312 is listed as a replacement. $1.45 from MCM.

Google 2SK152 and you will find many sources for original Sony JFETS

Since no one else has mentioned it, ISTR that people have used 2N3819 and MPF102 to replace the front end JFET. When I Googled MPF102, one link came up for 10 for $4.80 on eBay. It seems to me that any small-signal n-channel jfet will work well enough to get you a functioning radio (but I have never actually made this repair). While you are at it, you might also want to put parallel back-to-back Si switching diodes (1N914 or 1N4148) between the gate and ground to protect the jfet from ESD.

I certainly alluded to that when I suggested doing a search for what
people did when they blew out the original FET.

In both cases, the devices you mention are very available jfets. They may
or may not be the best choice (especially if the biasing isnt' changed)
but they are the most likely devices to be available through hobby
channels. And people seem satisfied with the results. Michael Covington
had a hint up about this, and he's one of those people who'd be fussy if
he felt it mattered what the exact device was.

If the replacement isn't a jfet, it won't work at all. That "C369"
sounds more like a bipolar transistor, and if you get "good results",
it's only because the transitor is letting the signal pass through. It
can't amplify, bipolar transistors need forward biasing, and that's not
there since the transistor is supposed to be a jfet.

If you do a search, the need to replace that front end jfet (I'm
assuning that's where the part is) is fairly common, so there are
various people on the web writing about replacing it. I think they've
often used an available jfet, which won't be optimum, but will work
better than a bipolar transistor.
