Just bought two for US99.98 (UK ~£66) with free shipping. Good deal. Will be interesting to see how they perform. Also interesting to know what FEI are currently quoting for new units. Last time I got a quote from them (5 years+) I was quoted over UK£1K each in single qty.

This is what the seller is telling you to do. I bought one and finally tonight hooked it up to see if it ran. After a few minutes it locked up nice. For the price, I think I will pick up a couple more as I have lots of gear for which this would, even uncorrected, be an outstanding reference. I will make up small switching circuits (or even tiny relays, I need projects to use them up) to switch over from the crystal upon lock and light a LED on the front panels.
