Anyway, Jameco
or Digikey may work, if the frequency you need happens
to be a stock one. If not, contact a crystal manufacturer. In years
past, I've ordered crystals for a custom frequency, quantity one,
completely painlessly from International Crystal. It seems odd, but
they have no trouble with custom orders for just a single part.
Yeah, I tried Jan
Crystals, they said they couldn't sell me a new crystal
unless I knew something called the "load factor" of the existing crystal.
That tidbit I don't see in the documentation. They
also wanted $20 each, and
that seemed a bit steep.
Sounds about right for a 1-off, actually. What frequency do you need, BTW?
