[MRCA] Tadiran RT/PRC-601 Help

[MilComm Guy]

So I purchased this neat little squad radio labeled RT-601 47-57 Mhz to use
on 51Mhz, the seller stated it worked.  So it arrived today and I opened up
the cover where the crystals(up to six)are and they are all gone.  I have
to doubt it was working, I figured I would need to purchase a new crystal
any way, just disappointed.
So does any one here have one of these up and running ?  Next big question
is where can I order a crystal for it?  According to the single source I
found it uses a CR-83/U crystal, a chart I found says the CR-83/U is a 5th
overtone in a HC-50/U enclosure.  The chart inside the radio says to add
+21.4, so if I order a crystal I want the crystal frequency 72.4Mhz ?

I am in the process of making a battery adapter, it uses a battery much
like the PRC-90 but larger diameter.

Thank you
