but need a set of crystals to do so.

QUESTION: Does anyone know of a source for Heathkit SB series crystal
sets aside from E-Bay?


Sure, call ICM. Tell them you have an SB-401 and what frequencies you
want, and they'll cut them for you. Probably about twenty bucks each.

Otherwise you can get junk crystals at a hamfest and recut them for
whatever frequencies you want, but it's a pain.

This is the type of item that makes ebay worthwhile no matter how much
one may prefer to avoid it. Sort of like a year round flea-market. The
missing ones from your rig possibly went there since its somewhat
difficult to sell that type of thing (and get a decent price) at limited
venues.

Good luck!
