Since accuracy is not important (+/- 1%), make a simple xtal oscillator
using an unbuffered HCMOS inverter (the 74HCU04 is the classic device for
this), a bias feedback resistor, a pair of load capactiors, and, possibly, a
series resistor to limit crystal dissapation.  Almost any 10MHz, parallel
cut, crystal will work.  Cheap, easy, and very reliable.

Good luck, Bob Smith
