I am trying to restore a clunker General Radio 1101A crystal oscillator. The unit I have is missing several parts including the mercury thermostat switch and parts of the oven box, and maybe more. I am looking to buying one or more other clunkers to get at least one of these historic devices operational again. Any help appreciated. John Franke WA4WDL 4500 Ibis Ct Portsmouth, VA 23703

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.

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.

John Was the mercury device anything like one of these? This is an old UK origin dual xtal oven ex open wire carrier equipment. Still has one original glass xtal but one has been replaced with a more 'modern' holder style. http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~tractorb/old%20xtal%20oven/ DaveB, NZ -----Original Message----- From: time-nuts [mailto:time-nuts-bounces@febo.com] On Behalf Of jmfranke@cox.net Sent: Friday, April 07, 2017 7:59 AM To: time-nuts@febo.com Subject: [time-nuts] Looking for Gen Rad 1101A oscillator/parts I am trying to restore a clunker General Radio 1101A crystal oscillator.
