Default "Y1" component designation?

There are no caps in this oscillator circuit. The resonator has a 33 ohm
(or 22; I can't tell if those are red or orange stripes) resistor
connecting each of its 2 pins to ground.


Clifton T. Sharp Jr.:

That really really really sounds like 33 pF caps to me. Are those "resistors"
the same color as the other resistors on the PCB?


No, they're bright green. Are they caps? I presumed because they're the same
size as a 1/4 watt resistor and they use the resistor color code that they
are resistors. Is this "duck" not a duck?

Thanks,

I'm with Clifton. It doesn't quite make sense if they are resistors,
and the very more so if they were really 22 or 33 ohm resistors. That's
a pretty big load on the crystal. Take an ohmmeter and measure them. Likely
you won't see a low resistance across them.
