Fred, my crystal went on the fritz also, but I managed to repair it.
I opened the can and removed the 200 khz crystal. I opened the
crystal and found one of the fine wires came off the quartz due to
some kind of green corosion. The wire was too short to reuse, so I
used a piece of nr38 copper wire that I cut and bent to size. I filed
a find point on my iron and tack soldered it in. It wasn't pretty but
it worked. Some types of those crystals are really fragil, because
the fine wires actually suspend the crystal in space instead of the
normal pressure plate type of contact.
