Don't forget, the added crystals are socketed but all the rest are wire lead soldered and will require removing the frontend board to replace. Not too easy to find those sockets if you wanted to change over.

That's great info!!!!

How much are the crystals and do you have a POC or is that a small 
enough merchant that anyone there would know what I need?

This is a lower priority for me than several other projects but I'd want 
to get the WARC crystals and maybe a couple SWL crystals while M H 
Electronics has the specs.    While I don't know how crystals are made, 
I'd expect that there is some advantage to letting them know to expect 
10 or 20 orders for exactly identical crystal sets.  

Even if they didn't offer a discount, it's worth passing the info on to 
them to encourage them to stay in business and have sets on-the-shelf, 
ready for fast delivery.

I'm surprised that someone isn't offering WARC crystal sets for S-Lines.
