Most of the components are available from Farnell in the UK. The mosfets are available from
Farnell, but are more expensive than some other sources. There is always a small risk of
getting fakes if buying at the lowest possible price. I got my mosfets from Nikko. These appear to
be full spec genuine devices, so I will continue to use them myself, for the mosfets only.
The list is for a single channel, so two of everything is needed apart from C11 and fuse F1.
Ic1, R9 and D6 are optional, they can all be replaced by R18 with very little change in performance.
T1 2SC2547E - NPN low noise TO-92 or 2SC2240BL
T2 BC560C - PNP low noise TO-92 or 2SA1085E (note different pin sequence)
T3 2SC2911 - NPN 160V 140mA TO-126
T4 2SA1209 - PNP 160V 140mA TO-126
T5 2SA1209 - PNP 160V 140mA TO-126
T6 2SK1058 - N-channel lateral mosfet 160V 7A TO-3P
T7 2SJ162 - P-channel lateral mosfet 160V 7A TO-3P
IC1 LM234 current source. (optional)
D1, D2, D5, D7 - 3mm Red LED HLMP-1301
D8, D9, D10, D11 - 12V 500mW Zener diodes
D3, D4, D6, - BAV20 200V 200mA diodes
L1 0.4uH. 13 turns 18swg enamelled copper wire, inside diameter 1cm length 1.6cm.

C13 10u non-polar electrolytic
C14 100n polyester 5mm pitch
C4, C11 and C12 need to have voltage rating greater than the supply voltage.
63V rating is suitable only for up to a 60V supply.
The transistors are rated 160V so in theory this is the upper limit, but I don't recommend this.
I only tested up to 94V. At anything much more than 60V some or all of the TO-126 transistors
may need heatsinks.
Additional parts:
Printed circuit board
Fuseholder
Insulating mica washers for TO-3P case mosfets
Terminal blocks, nuts, bolts, spacers, wire,
Heatsink, heat conducting paste, case, +60V power supply, on/off switch etc.
