[Milsurplus] Crystal tester

[Rich Arland]

SENCOR also marketed a Xtal checker with a LCD digital readout of the freq that the Xtal was cut for. Unfortunately I don't have one nor do I remember the model number of the device.

Vy 73 es gud DX!

They don't come up for auction very often, but a really handy one I was
fortunate enough to land a few years ago is the SECO Model 500
"CRYSTalignMETER".?? It was obviously made for the CB crowd back when the
rigs were all "plug-in" crystal-controlled and the operators were still
"sorta" trying to be legal (remember CB callsigns - i.e. KPH4939).??
Anyway, I've found it to be a handy solid-state checker for unknown
crystals.?? It has sockets for HC-17 (which also fits FT-243 holders) and
HC-6 crystals.?? It probably wouldn't be that difficult to add a socket
for the HC-25 "scanner" type crystals.

It does have a meter, so that's a plus over the "idiot light" designs
using an LED to show crystal activity.

FWIW ...
