[Boatanchors] HX-50 CRYSTALS

Both the 20M and 15M crystals in my HX-50 have now died.  These are 23 and 30 mhz range so I am guessing they are 3rd overtone types.  Can anyone confirm this?  If so, it should be possible to find  some 7mhz and 10 mhz range crystals in cans with wire leads which will work in 3rd overtone even if they are not bang on the required frequencies.  Theoretically I could get on part of the band even if the dial is off a bit

Anybody done this sort of thing with success?
