Check it's frequency with a freq counter, it is usually stamped on the can.
It may have drifted or the variable capacitor is faulty.

Crystals are cheap to get and under US$ 4.

I have heard that one can solder two insulted wires in parallel of the quartz and they are twisted to adjust the gain.
Is this true? How thick the wires should be ?
Please help.
You may change its quartz xtal .( check its freq. 32768Hzs) These are easily available.

We use a 4.194304MHz crystal, how should we do? Do we use a wrong crystal?
