I could probably help you, Keith.  But it's not very likely I will!

The usual way to get matched components is to buy a lot of them and test
to your spec.  Or test a mess of them and pick two that match across the
profile.

If they're opposites (like matched PNP/NPN transistors for a push/pull
amp), it's trickier but pretty much the same game.

If you're trying to match thermal characteristics, it can get especially
tricky.

Depending on the components and the precision you require, you'll usually
either need specialized test equipment or excellent standard tools plus
lots of ingenuity to do a good job of component matching. People with
such skills don't come cheap, and precious few of them are stupid enough
to play your kind of games, Henson.

Chances are, you'll have to pay full price.  Which may not be an option, I
presume, since all your spare cash is going to payments on the 75 grand,
right?

Personally, I'd charge you triple, by the minute, and with an ironclad
requirement for matching funds to your richly-deserved copyright judgment.
