I keep a couple of 3.58 crystals in my drawer and swap them out when I suspect a bad one. I find that a 3.58 crystal is a 3.58 crystal and one will work in any chassis. There may be exceptions but I haven't run into one yet. Also more often than not it is the jungle IC that is bad instead of the crystal. I'd be going back with a crystal, an IC and my scope if I were you. ******************************************************************************************************************* Since 1972 Jim Myers Telrad Electronics Fort Wayne, Indiana Gemini Computer & TV wrote: > I have a Hitachi 31DX10B that has no color and it appears as though X501 > (3.58Mhz crystal) may be the culprit.
