if it is in a little metal can it's probably a crystal. And you can get them from any decent retailer try digi-key.

Philll:
Looks like U found the timebase element for Ur
U/P electronics....a quartz crystal....so naturally U wud not expect it work without a " heartbeat" .We cud expect the instrument to have received a sharp blow/drop. I'm expecting it to be in a rounded can casing ~1/2 sq by ~1/8 thick or some configurations are compressed on the case height to !~1/4 high.<p>If the xtzl element inside hasn't jarred loose/
fractured AND you still have lead lengths on it
available.....due to its coming loose due to
poor solder joints on it...try resoldering it back into its circuit.
You shud find two micro holes in the solder connection where it came out and it shud be in
close prox to a microprocessor.....many pinned
I.C. . Its installation polarity is irrelevant.
If not so lucky U'll hav to get another xtal from Digi- key, etc

Well .....no_vice...fm....a little_vice:
What you are seeing is a throwback to many past years of copying hiiiiiigghh speed Morse code, which is easily mentally fathomable with practice, but sometimes a hard copy of the info is needed. If a pen or pencil is involved,
that is one challenge to keep up with and not drop manual copy. Using a phonetic shorthand certainly helps in both transmission and receiving brevity. This assuredly eases manual longhand copying , as well as cutting keystrokes when typing. As well, it also should present no trouble to the uninitiated in reading ....as compared to the common layman trying to interpret...say.... a stenographer's Gregg shorthand.
And there you have.........the rest of the story.<p> 73's de Edd
