I don't have any spare crystals, otherwise I would have tried changing it by now. Are replacements still available, if so where can you get them? From now on, I'm pulling them off of sets I junk, in the past year I junked at least 2 sets I knew had a good one. Are they interchangeable with newer sets, if so I can just drive around until I find one on the curb.
Another thing I just did was to exchange the slightly weak 6JH6 1st IF tube I was using (it was the best 6JH6 I could dig up), with a really good testing 6BZ6 (the schematic calls for a 6JH6). While the overall reception did improve with the better testing 6BZ6, but I doubt it had anything to do with my color problems.
