Where to get a JRC4558 in Australia?

I've tried the usual suspects - Jaycar, Rockby, Futurlec etc - and can't seem to track 'em down.  Would rather not have to place a special order with Smallbear or equivalent for just a couple of these (only want to build two TS808's - one for me and one for a mate), so was hoping to find somewhere local that stocks them.

Any ideas?

Does it have to be a JRC chip?  I heard the TI RC4558 chip sounds exactly the same, better according to Robert Keeley.  Unlesss you're going for the mojo, if so, sorry I'm of no help. 
To those about to rock, we salute you.

I've got about 10, PM me your address and I'll send you a pair. I don't know what they're worth, a couple bucks for the pair? Whatever :)
If you're in Melbourne, you're welcome to come get them from Richmond or Collingwood.

Don't seem to have those ones around anywhere either here...

Andrew, that sounds great - sure you're ok to spare them?  I don't get in to the city much closer than Mt Waverley very often, but I'm sure they'd be OK in envelope with some padding!  Any parts you need at the moment?  Could trade something for you if you wanted?... otherwise can paypal you?

Thanks

Yeah mate no probs, my low gain search ended with the MI Audio Blue Boy Deluxe and I prefer TL072 and burr browns in non drive pedals. If you have any JRC386 (not LM) I could really use one or two for a Tube Cricket. Maybe another opamp? Nothing else really comes to mind and I'm not really fussed. I've got to go to the post office on Monday anyway; swing me your address and I'll get them out to you.
