Frequently Asked Questions
What do the markings on each side of the can indicate?
One face is marked 52228 125, representing the 52.228125 MHz operating frequency. The reverse face is stamped KXN 6301 along with date code T9252.
Are accessories, sockets, or mounting hardware included?
Not included. This listing is for the bare crystal element only.
Why buy specific crystal elements here rather than a bulk surplus assortment?
Surplus crystal lots rarely give you the exact frequency step needed for a specific RF channel. Purchasing by confirmed part number and marked frequency eliminates sorting and guessing. Standard shipping is $8 flat rate, free once the order passes $28, and orders leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Specific frequencies are the heartbeat of vintage radio gear - when a local oscillator needs this exact channel, nothing else locks on.
