[Hallicrafters] SX-62 500kHz crystal

U.S. crystal used to be located in Fort Worth, TX, Peterson I believe is
still in Council Bluffs Iowa and still in business (2-3 years ago) and a
firm in Florida, can't recall. First suggestion: Internet. 73's N5TDE

The crystal marker in my SX62 wasn't working. After substituting a
crystal of different
resonant frequency, and finding that the 6C4-based oscillator worked, I
pinned it
down to the installed crystal itself being faulty.

I carefully took the case off it, and inside found that one of the
contacts had separated
from the thin sliver of crystal. It was very fiddly, but I managed to
resolder it back on.
However, the crystal still doesn't work.

Anybody have any advice: is this likely to be repairable, or do I need
to find another
crystal? If the latter, where would I find a 500kHz crystal for sale?

Thanks!
Julian
