I'm not holding my breath.

They don't even make anything under 1mhz anymore, so that makes the 315khz one unobtanium.

Did you ever get a 315 kHz crystal? I think it should be feasible to break the feedback path of the oscillator and install a 555 timer oscillator to drive the grid if you can't get a crystal.
