Yes, we do buy Racon space qual. TO-5 crystals now & then,
but we build our own oscillators around them. :-)

But I want to stay out of this.

Interesting. It's a lot of work. One of the key issues, is simply having the 
test equipment. Takes a lot of time and procedures to measure response over 
temperature in mass production. Thermal mechanics is a big problem. I avoid 
that bit of it myself...
