Crystal Chamber help

[Jediseth]

@Jediseth - are those thumbscrews that are holding the crystal at each end? I'm going to the local hardware store this weekend in search of crystal chamber parts and I'd like to see if I can find these.

Thanks,

These are actually coaxial cable parts. They have a threaded end. I can fit them on both sides of the chamber. With one I cut off the nut and the remainder of it fits in a chassis disk. Where the 5mm led can fit into. On the other I cut off the screw nut end and then cut the remainder off with a Dremel and cut off wheel so there is a hole for the Crystal. Then you just look for a screw to fit in the hole on the other end and screw it in place on the chassis disk. Very easy to do. You may also have to cut off some of the screw to make room for the crystal to fit. I actually got these coaxial cable ends at Radio Shack, but I'm sure if you look around you can find them elsewhere. The screw on ones work the best.
