Hi all,

I just got word from Barbara at ICM about the replacement crystal for this 
conversion project (see the e-mail below).

The part number cited below is specific for this downconvert project: 
Barbara created this unique part number just for us!  :-)
The manufacture time is 4 weeks and the cost is something like US$19.95 
(plus shipping) per unit.

I asked about a quanity-discount deal, but she said that there would have to 
be 11 or more crystals on a single order to qualify for a discount.

Hope this helps.
