[Elecraft] PLL reference oscillator failure

[Dan Barker]

... or a short under the can. It's easy to get enough solder up the leads to
contact the can where you  can't see it. If there's too much solder, you
could get that symptom. I'd pull the crystal, clean the holes carefully with
solder-wick, and reinstall with attention not to over-use the solder. Note,
you can most likely leave the ground wires on the cans, just treat it/them
as another lead of the (now three-legged) crystal.

Does this problem suggest a failure within the crystal itself?
