Fabio,

I'm glad to see that their shipping charge is fair. Turns out it is only about a 
dollar more than the shipping to my place here in the states.

I did notice that the schematic for the oscillator's small PCB, the 5MHz to 
10MHz doubler, is on KO4BB's site (page 22 of the PDF):
http://www.ko4bb.com/Manuals/Racal/Racal-Dana_1991-1992-ServiceManualSch.pdf

Makes me wonder if the oscillator is good, but the doubler has failed. If so, 
the unit might be easily salvageable. As for what's in the sealed can, here's 
hoping you end up with one, somehow, at a cost you are happy with.

Bob
