At this point I dont know what else could be causing my weird banding on the picture, so far this is the only thing I've measured with the frequency counter that's out of spec. I've even replaced the bad 47uf cap, and the 2SC828 transistor as a precaution, neither which had any effect on the crystal. In fact I went to measure it again just now, and its reading 2.8 mhz!
