Dave C:

If I have a difficult time finding a replacement ceramic resonator, can I
replace it in this circuit with a crystal? Are they directly compatible?

Sverre Holm:

The ceramic resonators are usually cheaper than crystals, see eg.

096&e_categoryid=28&e_pcodeid=6484 $0.45, so there is no need to try to
replace it [with a crystal].

I'm having a tough time finding a ceramic resonator locally. I know I can
find one on-line and mail-order. But I want to fix this *now*.

Can I replace a resonator *directly* with a crystal? Any modifications needed
to the circuit?

Thanks,
