Crystals

For what it's worth, here is correspondence I had with a crystal
manufacturer located in the Phillipines. Their prices sound ok I think,
but not sure if shipping cost would be the fly in the ointment.

I got your e-mail address when I surfed for information regarding Icom
Ic-235.
You got my word that any info about you won't reach anybody else through
me.

Our company is Republic Crystal Laboratory located at 387 J. Luna Ext.
Bagong
Silang Mandaluyong City Philippines. We accept payment through banks or
mailed
checks. We send out goods through Fedex or UPS.

We also have FT-243 crystals in the higher frequencies such as 1700-8900
Khz
but in these frequencies our customer rather prefer the Hc-6/u package.
So now
we only manufacture FT-243 crystals for 500 to 1600 Khz.

Yes, I am interested in buying or accepting trade-ins of crystals but
definitely not the FT-243 because we have quite a volume of this and its
use
in now declining. I'm sure you have others that might be of use to us,
so
please furnish us with more info on the crystals you might be able to
offer
me.

Thank you and I hope do business with you in the future.

Regards,
Beth
