Title: New source for crystals
Post by: Detroit47 on August 27, 2017, 05:43:01 PM
So who do I get a crystal from now. There is no more ICM. I found this place across the pond http://www.quartslab.com/. Has any body tried them? I hope someone knows a place stateside.

AF4K has some. I purchased some for my Viking 2 and they worked fine. Here is the link:

I use quartslab.

Have met him personally too and is a decent chap.

Yes he can do any Xtal altho' lower freqs are hard to do in smaller cases as there are few blanks being manufactured.

I guess NOT a problem for most folk on here, HC6U and up....?

Send him a mail and just tell him what tou need.

On our last meeting he said he was getting more enquiries from the US as two Xtal firms ahd ceased manufacture.
