Smoothest, and best, store purchased Joule Thief I have seen yet.

A crystal oscillator like TK is showing was the standard workhorse for clocking computer boards and other boards for years.  Now some of those parts literally look like specks of pepper.

Anybody hear of Fox?

Just name your frequency and your package.

First thing I hit was Oscillators - Through Hole and most of them have now been discontinued.

Check Ebay, these things are all over the surplus market, in many many frequency choices.

I also have about 20 of these little amplifiers:
MC1590G

Damn, an all in one small package amplifier and AGC in one.  What is the noise on that?

I dunno, the most I've done is to breadboard one up and confirm that I can put a signal in and get a signal out. I can't even get near their frequency limit though, especially without putting it on a good PCB.  At present I have no real use for them. They are brand new, still on their little plastic carrier things to keep the pins straight. The friend who gave them to me was a technician at a local company that made MRI machines but went out of business years ago, and these are new old stock from there.
