Internation Crystal Manufacturing bought out Sentry Crystal on March 15, 2005. Some of the same folks are still there but they are merging operations. 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.
