Curt,
Years ago I used the connectors from turntable cartriges to add
connections
for crystals.
You might be able to rob a crystal connection block from an old 2meter
crystal transiever, if you can find one.
Trying to solder the crystal directly to the board is tricky, as you can
cause an intermittent connection inside the crystal.
Good luck, 73'S

Subject: [TenTec] Omni C crystal holder source
The Omni C is working ok after adjustments. I even managed to get 30 and 10M
working by wedging wire into the loose crystal sockets.
I asked Ten-Tec whether they still stocked the crystal holders for the Omni
series, of course the answer was "no". So, has anyone found a useful
substitute
to warrant difficulty of removing the oscillator board to permit replacing the
sockets? Anyone replaced the sockets? I'd like to repair the board properly,
the existing crystal holder is in pretty poor condition.
73, Curt KB5JO
