Have they doubled their prices yet to match ICM? *** Well, the last crystals I ordered from Sentry in February for a MASTR II were $9.95 each for 3 week delivery. The ones I ordered yesterday from Sentry/ICM were $19.95 each for 3 week delivery. So, at this point I would have to agree that yes, they have doubled their prices. *** Too bad; crossing another crystal vendor off my list. *** I have used Sentry crystals since 1971 and out of literally hundreds of crystals I can honestly say I have had only one bad one and that was caused by operator error. I soldered the ground lead to the wrong side of the crystal case and destroyed the vacuum seal. Sentry replaced the crystal on a 3 day turn-around at no charge. Can't complain about service like that!! I use ICM when I need the crystals temperature compensated and have never had any problems with their service. $60 plus the cost of the crystal is a bit steep but they don't drift in temperature extremes so I guess it's worth the cost. *** Let's just hope they don't swallow up West Crystal. *** Haven't heard anything about that yet. *** Bob NO6B 73, Rich Rich Poczkalski WB2DSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] In GOD we trust, all others we run NCIC ``` Two rules for success in life: 1) Don't tell people everything you know. 2) ``` Yahoo!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Sentry Crystal
I just found Standard Crystal on the internet, I thought they had closed. Back in the two way days we used them and they were very good quality.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Sentry Crystal
I too have fond memories of Sentry. Converted many surplus commercial rigs to the ham bands using their rocks back 20-25 years ago. I don't recall ever having one go bad. 73, Kevin, K9HX At 08:45 PM 4/6/2005, you wrote: >I called Sentry this morning to order a couple of crystals and was >greeted by a recording that Sentry is now ICM. >Internation Crystal Manufacturing bought out Sentry Crystal on March 15, 2005. > >Some of the same folks are still there but they are merging operations. > >New phone number is 1-800-725-1426 > > > >73, > >Rich > >Rich Poczkalski WB2DSS > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >In GOD we trust, all others we run NCIC > >``` >Two rules for success in life: >1) Don't tell people everything you know. >2) > >``` > > > > > > > > >Yahoo!
