[Hallicrafters] xtal question

[Glen Zook]

Don't know specifically about the 100 KHz crystal, but
I use the under $1 "clock" crystals in tube type VHF
converters all the time.  They work fine.  Sure beats
$15, or so, from International!

Also, the 100 KHz crystals that I am used to seeing
are in the holder that is about 3 times as tall as the
HC6/U (can't remember the holder number right now!).

Not having a spare 100kc xtal, I looked in the Mouser
catalogue and noticed that they sell one for about 50
cents !!!.  Now the 100kc xtals I am used to seeing
are usually in metal HC6U holders and this is what I
expected to get. When the Mouser xtal arrived, I
couldn't believe it - the damned thing is about the
size and shape of the rubber erasure on a lead pencil
with two wire leads out the bottom.  The specs say it
has a 12pf load capacitance which would be about
right.
