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)

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

There is no need to be that offensive, Phil.
This is usenet, threads have a tree structure where people reply to
replies and not direct to the original posting.

When you cannot handle that, you should not be here.

Which he has not - as I expected.

If that is the case, then how can you not have learned that Usenet is a
"party line"?

You cannot post to "*one* person" on Usenet. You can only post a
follow-up to an article, and that follow-up is *read by all* readers of
the group (i.e., a "party line") and can be further followed up by
anyone who wishes to do so.

To send something to "just one person" you have to use email.

How can you have been posting to Usenet for 20 years and not have
learned this fact?

Phil has never been overly burdened by facts. They get in the way of its carefully managed world view.

One can reply to the OP over and over, ignoring all others.

You cannot post to "*one* person" on Usenet.

** Yes you can, by directing a question or thought to them.
It's then up to them to reply.
Others have no ****ing idea what the OP is needing or thinking and ought not attempt to reply for them.

** True, but irrelevant.

How can you have been posting to Usenet for 20 years and not have

** Cos is it simply not a fact.
Questioning and drawing out an OP is essential to providing useful answers to them.

FYI:

Only *complete fools* treat OP's questions as if they had appeared on some exam paper.

Only *complete ****wits* complain about others who get it right.

When the Drongo from Down-Under is wrong, it spins like an Iranian centrifuge. Getting very little done but with much fuss and blather.

Altogether worthless.

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.

SiT1576 would be even better, albeit in CSP package and need the
programming tool. But then it needs no additional MCU and needs only
around 15 uA for the 784 kHz.

I'd like to try to 'accurize' the timer in the HP-45 calculator.

... 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.

There's factory-programmable oscillators that use internal logic to create
custom frequencies, which has better cost and leadtime than custom crystals.

DigiKey will even program it for you...
