come to think about it, This may be the same problem I have been having? Where can I get replacement crystals for my R-4B?

It is the 14.6 crystal after all. I thought it was a bandswitch contact and after several days of workig on this on/offit looks like the crystal. I swapped a crystal in from a R-4C and now everytime I turn it on it works perfect. Except it was off 15 KC! So I swapped one in from a friends R-4C and it is right on. Before it seemed to not work right away after power on...but after it warmed up for quite a while it started workingkind of strange?? Anyone heard of this before about a crystal failing this way (when cold, mostly)? Also, I need a 14.6 anyone have one extra for a reasonable price?? Actually looks like I need 2, but one for now would be fine. I guess if no one has any..I will have to call JAN Crystals to see if they still have them? 73, Lee, KC9CDT I can tell you that crystals do sometimes go off frequency with time and they do go dead. I've had both happen recently to "modern" sealed case crystals made probably 45 to 55 years ago. I don't know what the failure mechanism is but both are of the plated on electrode kind. -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles WB6KBL dickb...@ix.netcom.com ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
