I've posted a photo of the oscillators I have here (url munged so this

The tops are a little scratched since they were in a plastic parts cabinet
drawer when I got them, and I've never gotten around to tracking down
tubes to store them in. For that fact, anyone know of a source for
oscillator tubes for free/cheap? (They are slightly larger then standard
DIP tubes.) I have 100s of random oscillators I'd love to store in tubes
instead of small plastic bags/drawers.

Does it have to be exactly 13MHz for the system
to function correctly?
I have some Fox brand 13.824MHz oscillators
Actually, they are exactly 13.824MHz on the 11/23, too. Must be a
standard speed...
in my parts cabinets that were leftovers from
something back in the mid
90s (probably modem R&D).
Oh, this may be totally fantastic. I spent a chunk of time today looking
for a replacement, and so far, no luck. So you may really be a
life-saver.
A generic search for 13.824MHz crystals turned up a whole bunch of SMD
parts, and a few of what I think are actual crystals (two leads), but
none of those self-contained DIP oscillator units.
I have a couple of 11/23 cards, and although the DIP oscillators on them
are from a number of different manufacturers, they all have the same
number on them: "18-12131-00", which must be some standard part number.
So I tried looking for that, and all I found were a couple of those
part-finder services. So, just for grins, I asked three of them for
quotes. Only one replied, and they couldn't find them.
So if you've got some of the DIP oscillator units, that'd be a
life-saver. I'll contact you off-list to work out the logistics? Thanks!
