Yes, that's possible. I have a HP-55 and it works, so I don't want to cannibalize it. I'm sure there has to be some company that can custom manufacture crystals to specs. I did try Bomar, but have not received a reply. ** If you have done any Googling on this at all, you know that there is no such company. Stop being such a naive PITA. Do you mean this company : http://bomarcrystal.com/ ** FFS they don't make one off specials for hobbiest ******s like the OP. ...... Phil |

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.... Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

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 . 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. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

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.

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. .......

They provide two ranges, 30-100 kHz and another starting at 800 kHz. 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. CH |

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. ..... Phil |
