And if you take two FT-243 xtals and tape them upside down and back to back
you can electrically switch between two crystals at a time and flip them
over mechanically for a total of 4 frequencies (if there is headroom for the
pins that will be sticking above the top of the crystal that is plugged in).
Us old farts are full of useful Hints and Kinks!

If you use an octal socket, as Don suggests, you can plug in two crystals,
and switch between them - an old boatanchor trick.

I'm searching for an FT-243 crystal holder,

I've done a bit of searching on the internet
