Hmmmm....
 
I think I'm convinced, I had my doubts to start with and  now have enough 
more to ensure I follow a different  route:-)

Hi
 
 If they are indeed grabbing anything in that package and re-labeling it, I 
would 
 be very careful. True TCXO’s (full compensation network) in that package 
are 
 relatively rare compared to the enormous number of “precision XO’s” made 
 in the same package. The XO’s had no real compensation. They simply 
 relied on a packaged crystal to deliver a tighter stability than the open 
blank
 DIP XO’s of the same era. 
 
 The other obvious issue of a relabel process would be that the one I get 
and 
 review likely has no relation at all to the one you get and try to use. We 
could 
  have parts each built to totally different specs and each made by who 
knows who.
