I have what appears to be a temperature stabilized oscillator made by
CTS knights inc Sandwich IL Ithas an octal base appears to take two
crystals Part# 900-0196. This is about all I know about it. Any other
info would be appreciated.

GE two way radios had ovens like that in the 1970s or earlier.

Could be , I came by this part in '73. There is a pretty good chance
it was from a Lo band VHF unit.

You sure it's actually an oscillator? I have some units that could be
like you describe that are just thermostat-controlled ovens for
crystals. The oscillator is separate, for the ones I have. Guess you
could find out mo check the resistance between each crystal-socket
pin and each of the octal base pins (and perhaps if two of the crystal
pins are in parallel, sharing a common ground or equivalent).

Cheers,

Thanks Tom. You are correct. Leads from the crystal sockets go
directly to the octal connector.
