Hello, i'm thinking about buying and old 4 channel portable
crystal scanner. what i would like to do is re-xtal it
for the local amateur radio repeaters. (vhf)

So I called radio shack and they have no idea if they can get them
or how long it will take. Then I call a xtal company and they
need to know the following:

Actual frequency : just the straight 14x.xxx right?
holder           : what's this? Did i misunderstand?
tolerance        : is that ppm? what's normal for this sort of
                   thing?
load capacity    : is that like power capacity? what's normal?

Can you help? thanks.
a crystal neophyte
