On the annoying side, it looks like Farnell Australia

14.25045MHz crystals. Actually, looks like they don't exist at all, having
turned into something called Element14, though their range of crystals does
still seem pretty good.
Nor do Farnell UK or Newark, and CPC and RS Components (nee Radiospares)
don't either. Common ones are 14.31818MHz (common for NTSC standards)
and 14.7456MHz (common for high baud rates).
The Element14 name amuses some of us. Farnell announced the rebranding
a couple of years ago but it doesn't seem to have taken off here,
perhaps because Acorn Computers (of BBC Micro, Archimedes and ARM fame)
owned and used the name Element14 for a decade.
