If you're going to heat the crystal, might as well use something that will
keep it at a more or less stable temperature: a 50 ohms 50 degree C PTC
thermistor. Digikey has them for $1.68 each (manufacturer part #
RL3006-50-50-25-PTO). Desolder one of the leads & solder the disk directly
onto one side of the crystal, ground the crystal case & apply a regulated
voltage to the other side.
