Dear time-nuts, If I want to play around with AT-cut crystals, it is trivial to pick them up. I have bags of 20 MHz AT-cut crystals laying around. I do not feel comfortable like hacking away on the 10811s I have. So, where do I find some SC-cut crystals to play around with? I don't need stellar performance. Think crude lab-hacks at this point. Any ideas? Cheers, Magnus

Note: The oscillator output is divided by 2 with a 74HC74A. Bruce
