>>Had to drop down to 5k drain resistor to get around 4.5V's  
Is this a bad batch of 2n5457's?
 
 
Mike, I've found that is typical of the 2N5457s that you can get these days. It's just a little under what I would recommend for the project but they will certainly work with 5k drain resistors. Max gain will be less than with something like an NTE458 or J201.  
 
regards, Jack
