After swapping tubes, disconnecting the oscillator components, testing them, finding them ok, testing the caps inside the reactance transformer, and finding them ok I examined the crystal socket and thought it looked a bit corroded. I cleaned its socket and tried the oscillator adjustment procedure again. This time the oscillator started . So I adjusted it to the 5Vpp, and ran out of time for tonight. So I guess I will not need the replacement crystals and oscillator output transformer I ordered today. But its nice to have spares. I ordered an audio output transformer that I think may work even if its not a listed replacement. Its from an amp that also uses a 6AQ5 for its output tube.
