[R-390] Y501 Rattles

To the list:

The Motorola R-390/A has a rare disease, rattle of the Y501. This is not
good if the receiver is to be placed in a vibrating location. The 455KC
crystal inside Z501 is broke, plain and simple. I see where Fair Radio has
Z501 with crystal/less cover, but have to wonder about the condition of the
crystal? Last week I spoke with ICM (International Crystal Manufacture) and
thought they had the real thing; upon arrival of their crystal the pins were
too small in diameter and way too long. 

Anyone been down this road?

Thanks,
Craig
