Author Topic: Any hardware guys out there? Daniel Butler I'm a Singapore where is my boat Member # 1689 posted                       Anyone have any idea what kind of old hardware I could salvage a 100mhz crystal oscillator from? The only thing I've dug up in my basement so far that even has a crystal is an old ISA modem, and it's rated at 59mhz, so no go. I suppose I could buy one from mouser, but $3.75 for something I might have already?

I'm mostly curious whether or not I can make a tunable one with various ranges, dialing up from a few inches to a foot, to a foot and a half, etc. by means of a variable resistor between the crystal and the power supply...

A clock or radio may have one, the radios may work better, being a variable frequency device already. -------------------- "You are a terrible human, Ritten."
