d4v1d Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Hey folks, I really want to swap the crystal of my ultimate SD for a more gen like one. It this possible and where to source it? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d4v1d Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I don't see why it's not possible but I read some where -although im not sure- that's not possible. The stock crystal sucks. Would be awesome to have a more gen like crystal in it. Consider TC hands and dial also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Well, the first order of business is to remove the crystal and measure it with a set of calipers. On my late model SSD v2, that's what I did. Then jmb ordered a plain 29.5mm mineral crystal from Jules Borel I believe, and I installed it. Only drawback is that it's not WR, but I haven't tried to seal it with silicone or G-S Hypo-cement yet. It might be a 29.5 x 1.5mm crystal, but I'm not sure and the stuff is at home which is not where I am at this moment. The sides on this crystal are straighter which is more correct for the SD.
