"Mint" Omni C recently purchased is better now.  The excessive current draw ( 
with no output ) turned out to be PA bias set for maximum instead 1.5-2 amps 
current.  The seller claimed it worked FB I'm not sure how.   Thankfully  the 
sideband board is ok.  And, the problem with the band selector turned out to be 
intermittent ground on the 40M crystal socket. I used technique someone else 
described here, which was to bridge between that socket ground side and the 80M 
ground socket with a u-shaped piece of wire wedged with the 40M and 80M 
crystal.  40M is no longer intermittent.  Rube-goldberg for sure, but the rig 
is working fine now on.

Does anyone know the part number for the (missing) 13.99 mHz crystal that would 
allow me to get 10 MHz and and 28.0-28.5 MHz working?

73, Curt KB5JO
