I have traced the problem back to the RL8A. The 8,2MHz

I did a quick search and didn't see an obvious source of through-hole
oscillators at the right frequency (and it is a bit unusual), even
from US vendors.
One solution could be to mount an SMD oscillator in a 14-pin DIP
machined-pin socket frame (with 10 pins removed) either on a small PCB
or with flying leads and a spot of glue.
