International Crystal is closing

Another ham oriented, US based company bites the dust.

It's a shame. I don't know if that affects any elecraft filters, but it does
affect my old Drake boatanchors. Bob W3DK

Re: International Crystal is closing

That’s too bad. I’ve bought a lot of crystals (for Drakes, Collins, and others) from these folks over the years. I wonder what other sources there are left out there?

We have multiple sources for all of our crystals and filters, and plenty of stock on hand. But we'll miss working with ICM.

I believe if my memory serves me right, they produce the OX-2 oscillator kit, 100 mw on CW. I also enjoyed their PAX-1, 200 mw amp. WN6EDW, Ted, Gonzales, Ca

Re: International Crystal is closing

And, a very early rig of mine, the STP-50, a low power 6 meter
transmitter that was fun to use. With two tubes, an
oscillator/multiplier and a PA. You were to supply 250-300 volts.

Well, there is still AF4K who has a web presence making custom crystals in
the FT-243, FT-241 and CR4U cases.

Bliley is still around and on the web, making crystals, crystal oscillators
and the like.

Also JAN Crystals in Florida is still in business.
