1680 Crystal

[csukenik1]

I'd like to replace the crystal on my 1972 1680. I believe the t-19 from the 5513 is compatible. Is the t-39 also compatible?

Thanks.

The "Tropic 39" crystal is compatible. Both T19 and T39 will cost you a pretty penny :)

Thanks. What would you estimate a t-19 or t-39 would cost? I got an estimate and it was a lot lower than I would have thought.

Thanks,
Carl

If you're interested, Michael Young, in Hong Kong, sells excellent T-19 replacement crystals. I got one recently for my '77 1680. It was $60 plus Fedex fees for a total of $93. It arrived in a few days, and had I it installed that afternoon.

It depends on your budget and what you want to get (genuine or aftermarket). Then you have a few different shapes of T19 and T39 - Superdome, Dome, and service crystals.
Needless to say "Superdome" T19 and T39 are expensive...
