[R-390] another crystal question

[odyslim at comcast.net]

 I have a couple of radios that seem to have a problem with the
crystal oscillator overheating. I have reason to believe the
switch is not good and keeping the ovens on 24/7. Has anyone
experienced a very hot cover on the crystal oscillator even with
the oven in the off position? Is it ok to snip the wire going to 
the switch or will that cause other problems. 

 The cover is not just warm. It is almost hot enough to burn the 
skin.
