Phil,

Look for a NTE358 crystal. It has the same style case but the legs are smaller diameter. What I do is wrap a layer of very fine copper wire around the legs of the NTE358 and then solder the layer of wire. If you use the right gauge copper wire to wrap with, you will add just enough thickness to the legs so they fit snugly into the crystal socket on the ct100. When you finish the nte358 will mount and look like the original.

Warning do not use a NTE358A

I looked high and low for the correct style as used in the ct100 and there are none to be had unless you find one in a junker set.
