Hi everyone ! I want to exchange some transmit & receive crystals in a Johnson Messenger I which takes the HC-6/U body plug-in crystals. Will a HC-25/U "Smaller Body" work in place of the HC-6/U modifying the pins to fit the HC-6/U socket ? Any good advice will be greatly appreciated  Dave |

The physical package size is not the only difference between channel crystals.
The smaller one usually works in place of the larger metal-can crystal. The last place I saw an adapter ready-made was decades ago, and that supplier has been gone a while.
You won't know how far off frequency a "mystery" crystal is until you try it. Might be okay, might be off enough to sound terrible.
Can't hurt much by trying.
