What through hole device can I use instead of a SOT23 format BF862 please?

https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/BF862.pdf shows the specs.
The circuit it would be used in is hopefully attached. Thank you!

It's just LED current limiter. You can use resistor.
T3sl4co1l:
If the inputs are the voltages shown, just use 1k resistors. They're literally using them as (8 to 20mA) current limiters.
Ew, a step-up gate drive transformer, and no winding details (core, but not winding).
Ew, ancient fatass transistors too. Those 1 ohm gate resistors aren't going to do anything.
I've seen Tesla coil circuits better than this, which is saying something... :-\
Ed: ew, and using a 6N136 in phototransistor mode. Just use a 4N35, except those aren't fast enough. :palm: It just gets worse the more I look at it...

You should be able to drop in any N channel JFET with a suitable Ids at Vgs=0. For example, J110 (10mA @ Vgs=0), J111 (20mA @ Vgs=0), both available in a TO-92 package. But it really depends on what LED current you want. The quiescent current also isn't a hard specification, so we're talking ballpark. I believe the max LED current for the 6N136 is 25mA? The J110 probably is a good starting point.
J110, J111 in TO-92:

Be warned, these devices are ESD sensitive. Always make sure you're grounded when handling discrete JFETs.
