Crystal Tester Circuit Release, Add-A-Cap Circuit Update!
Added 2025-09-17 03:16:53 +0000 UTCAnother very beneficial tester for the bench! The crystal tester works with fundamental and overtone crystals alike. Use this circuit to test all sorts of different crystals! See video for the schematic. Enjoy!

Did I miss something? ...was the schematic and parts list already released? (for the crystal tester)

2025-10-01 04:46:32 +0000 UTCGreat video! I think some of us need a review of crystal circuits and how the capacitance affects the frequency and even the ability of the crystal to oscillate. Also, the if you could explain the difference between a fundamental and overtone crystal, it would be helpful. Is there a video perhaps that you made a while back that explains these things? Thanks again Paul!
