The FMS6141 is a video filter, as I recall you can leave it off and go with
the 2N3904 based amp instead, it needs to be one or the other, not both.

I ordered the 6141 from Digikey -
http://search.digikey.com/us/en/products/FMS6141CSX/FMS6141CSXCT-ND/1305865


Note that I have NOT verified the info below, it is based on looking at the
schematic.

If you use the FMS6141 I believe these other parts are needed as well:  

P36 FMS4161
R28 0 Ohm (wire jumper)
R29 470 Ohm
C24 0.1uF
R30 75 Ohm
R31 75 Ohm
C26 220uF
C27 0.1uF
Jumper L1 (this will supply VCC to the FMS6141) or use an Inductor bead to
limit noise back onto VCC

If you are not using the FMS4161 then you will also need:

Q1 2N3904
C25 22uF
L1 Inductor Bead

Again this is a guess based on what I see in the schematic; there was a
discussion some time ago on another thread about a similar design on another
board; I haven't been able to find that discussion however.

When I checked my parts for the VDP I discovered I'd forgotten the
FMS6141 IC.
There doesn't seem to be anything available locally that will do the job.
It'll take about a week to come in from RS Components. I know they are a bit
pricey, but they don't have a minimum order for their free delivery if you
order online in Australia, unlike Element 14 or XON(Mouser agents) or
Digikey. (I don't have any association with RS)
