futurlec.com has/had them. They just went to $1.50 from $0.80 or so. NTE had (past tense) a replacement that was discontinued a month or two ago.

Ok hard-core synth builders out there...

I have an OB-X the uses CA3080 VCA's like they were going out of style,

which unfortunately turned out to be the case.  I need a replacement
CA3080 for a mod I want to do (make the noise level
programmable/adjustable if you are interested) and I am seeking an
alternative VCA that will work like a CA3080, but that is more easily
available.  The VCA does not need to be pin compatible with a CA3080
(but it would be nice).

Any suggestions for a replacement/alternative part   If so, where do I
buy it I only need 1 or so VCA, not 50 like I see on e-bay. Anyone
have some 3080's for sale

I didn't have much luck on Mouser, Digikey had some possible parts but
they were non-stock and about $20 per chip.  

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
