  You should read somewhat more than 1kOhm.

Reads ~2.05k with a 1k resistor (which itself read ~985ohm).  With a 10k reads: 10.8k either polarity.

  Looking at the datasheet from Fairchild, the value of about 1kOhm you get for the drain to source impedance when Vgs=0 is within the specs for the JFet.

Well I didn't "scream it" its why I posted, because I wasn't sure. And I've had plenty of fake (as in re-labeled) parts from fleabay - it's not completely unheard of.  Perhaps I should have titled the topic "possible" fake J201's.

A question mark would have done the job and if this were in the beginners section people would've been more lenient too.

Have you tried any real J-FET circuits with it yet?
