All of the below are OK although some are considered somewhat
"cheaply" made, but over the past 30 years or so I've had excellent
results with Sentry Mfg. Co. on Oklamha.

Need some TX/RX crystals for a vintage transceiver. Anyone know of a
place that carries a good stock?


Last time I ordered from Bomar, they wanted a $50 minimum order for
crystals. Unless you plan to replace some "specialized" crystals OR a
handful, they're not worth screwing with. I think the others "were" at $20
which is a bit more "hobbyist" friendly.

Not sure what type of rig he is doing, but I know I and I'm sure many others
have some crystals stashes which are good to do rebuilds. I have a bunch of
older 2 meter radio crystals, CB crystals, etc. I have some older
"Motorola", RCA and so on also. I've got like 3 "crystal testers" to check
mine with.
