The oscillator circuit, yes.  The oven circuit, no.

> Is there any way to test just the crystal can easily 
>(assuming it doesn't rattle)?

Yes, follow the instructions in manual section 8-95. You won't be testing
the crystal directly; rather you're going to replace the crystal with
10-12uH in the tank.  If the tank runs, the crystal is bad.
