Ron - I've not seen an answer to your question. I don't KNOW the answer, but the crystal in that oscillator is operating in the parallel resonant mode, (not typical for solid state circuits,) and about 95% of parallel resonant crystals are specified for a 32 pF load. I have seen a few spec'd

Ron - OK, so much for my 'expertise'! :-) Looks like this may be one of the 5%. Someone emailed me direct saying that they had sent the old crystal in to ICM and they were able to provide a correct replacement. I'm not sure how that works, perhaps they 'knew' what it should be, -OR-

Hi All, i have posted this request several places on the internet and tried to listen in to the Drake Tech Net but couldn't connect. I am restoring a Drake TR-7A and the 13.695 MHz VCXO crystal has drifted way off frequency. I am trying to have a new made at ICM. I also have ordered on from
