[Drake] Wanted 12.6 MHz crystal for B-line

The R-4B and the T-4XB are hooked up with all the injection/interface cables and first I tried to transmit with the receiver set to control transceive. No signal out of the transmitter on 160, but both work on the other bands with either in control in transceive mode. 
I have to add, that I never used the T-4XB, because I always (for about 20 years) had the T-4X with my B receiver, but I never used the pair on 160. A couple of years ago I swapped the T-4X for the T-4XB with someone who had a pair,  reverse  of mine and wanted to pair the T-4X with his R-4.
I just thought if I had another crystal, it'd be more convenient to troubleshoot the transmitter.
As the next step, I'm going to plug the crystal from the receiver into the transmitter to see whether it works on 160 in in the separate mode, but it's very possible that it has a problem in that band.
