[ARC5] ARC-5 Crystal Question

[Henry Mei'l's]

I actually did try to get an '8000kc'/kHz  ARC-5 xtal to ocscillate (Think I 
lashed together a Pierce, (triode/grid-to-plate) breadboard setup). This 
xtal didn't oscillate -- but on the other hand I don't recall whether I ever 
tried to use it in its intended function, so it might have been 
disfunctional in all respects.
But as Dennis writes, why shouldn't they oscillate?
Easy enought to find out.

Henry
