Hi list,
Would anyone know if I could get a 10.6445MHz crystal for a Dick Smith System-80 in
Australia? This evening I decided to power up mine for the first time in ages, but the
crystal pins were corroded through and it fell off.
I don?t know if Australia adds any complications. It used to be (I haven?t tried lately)
that crystal manufacturers would happily make crystals to order for very reasonable
prices. So if you can?t find one in stock, that would be the way to go.
The website isn?t entirely clear, but it looks like the company I used in the past
(International Crystal) still works that way: tell them what you need and they will make
it for you in a couple of weeks, quantity one if that?s all you want.
