Argh!  Nooooo!  

 

The 3900 is a completely different type of "opamp".  It's VERY likely that
it could NOT be replaced with a standard opamp.  It is good that the 3900
(LM3900) is still available because there are so many legacy designs that
rely on them.  They are a very useful, yet "white elephant" opamp.

 

If you think it's bad, order the real thing.  Substitution will not work.
