reply.

Stop being such a naive PITA.

Do you mean this company :

They are just across the river from me, and, in point-of-fact, they do make one-offs for amateurs and hobbyists, albeit at a price.

You spend far too much time under your rock to have any understanding at all of how big and wide the world is, and how many unusual things it contains.... Including brand new multi-section twist-lock capacitors....

No use arguing with that fool. I think he just likes to spread his crap
over the group. I try not to go back to him .

I do know that they will make crystals as a one of a kind for people.
There are many on a ham radio group that have ordered from them. The
price is high , starting about $ 50 each . I never did like the Bomar
brand but have bought some from them about 40 years ago when several
companies would make almost anything you wanted. Most are out of
business now. There is a place in England that is reported to be a good
company by other hams, but their prices are still around the $ 50 mark
per crystal. I did special order a few crystals from International
Crystal just before they went out of business.

The drongo from Down Under is much like a hognose snake, but without the utility. All pretense and threat, no actual substance. At least the snakes eat vermin.

There still are companies that make crystals for a specified frequency
and although it has become much more expensive (probably because of
reduced demand) it still can be done.

However, I looked up a company where I have ordered before and it seems
that this particular frequency is a problem. They provide two ranges,
30-100 kHz and another starting at 800 kHz.

(these companies work with stock crystals that they etch towards the
requested frequency so you can only order frequencies for which they
have the suitable starting point)

Just to help out - here are one-off suppliers of crystals active today:

http://www.quartslab.com/ (England)
https://www.euroquartz.co.uk/ (England)
https://www.laptech.com/index.php (Canada)
http://lokoselectronics.com/brands/a...ectronics-llc/ (USA)
https://www.frequencymanagement.com/ (USA)
https://www.transko.com/ (Possible - USA)
https://abracon.com/brands/fox?utm_s...utm_medium=301 (USA)
http://bomarcrystal.com/ (USA)
https://www.ctscorp.com/ (Possible, USA)
http://www.krystaly.cz/en/ (Czech Republic)

I am sure with a bit more searching I could find some more.

** People here cannot *read posts* for the actual meaning !!!!!

FYI:

I posted my remark to the OP (John Crane) not the group.

I told him that if he Googled his topic, many others have tried to source a suitable 784kHz crystal and found there simply is NO new part source. Likely never has been either.

I also told him where to find used ones - in old HP-55s.
He has no real need in any case - purely a whim.

So he ain't about to pay a *whole bunch of money* for one.

My advice was solid.

30-100KHz will be a tuning fork. From 800MHz up will be a rock, ground
smaller for higher frequencies. It's kinda difficult to grind them
bigger though.

Put an Si5351 and an ATTiny on a little board and it'll probably be
smaller than your broken rock, and cost a fraction of the price.

** The OP needs an actual crystal.

The mod he wants uses the existing circuit by replacing an RC network directly.
The Si part use a lot of current for a battery operated device, about 35mA.
