Yes, I have the 1190 crystal and the socket. That is one of the driving factors for me to get the oscillator functional again. I am hoping someone has parts of another 1101A that is missing the crystal bar.

Hi

I have seen only one of them that still had the 100 KHz bar in it in good shape. That
was back in 1973 and I have no idea at all what happened to that one. It was at a
surplus outfit in Indiana that is long since gone out of business.

Hi

Does your unit have the 1190 100 Kc quartz bar still in it? If so does the
mount appear to be intact?

At this late date, replacing that resonator is not going to be easy.

devices operational again. Any help appreciated.
