Alright before I start, you have to promise not to laugh at me. 

I bought this freq. meter and when I powered it up with my Heath PS-4, I read the wrong scale on the meter and applied ~300v B+. Oops. So I saw a little smoke and thought I fried one of the old fixed caps, so I recapped it. 

Now it worked at that high voltage and it works after the recap, but I get nothing out of it when I put it in the Crystal position. Am I right in assuming I have fried the crystal? Everything else works fine. 

Does anyone have a spare xtal they would be willing to sell?

Tnx,

Robert
