Thanks, now I know what to look for.
You're lucky to have a local store that carries components. I phoned the most likely place I could think of around here, and had to spell the word c-r-y-s-t-a-l for the clerk.
Trying the crystal I salvaged from the junk board was a waste of time. Made weak color bars and a faint sound of frying bacon, so I immediately powered down. Perhaps it wasn't up to that voltage. No harm done, anyhow.
My generator's a Leader LCG-396 of unknown vintage. New enough to be solid state. I have tried a few other sources, including the agile modulator that I use for in-home broadcasting, and at this stage nothing produces good color but the generator. Which could mean one of two things, I guess: [A] the generator's frequency is different than all the others, or [B] its signal is stronger. Regarding signal strength, tweaking the AGC control doesn't affect this problem.
I'll keep pokin' around.
Phil
