In the ol days we would use a pencil or rub a bit of solder on the
face
real hams used ? acid to etch and raise the frequency,, I dont
remember
what the acid was but the local chemical company would sell a
bit
drill a hole in the mount face, tap it and use a screw to apply
pressure and move the frequency around

For those who didn't know, use following 'trick'
to tune your own X-tal. (found it in a magazine from the
VERON)
Take an permant marker pen ("Edding, or similar)
and put a little stripe/line on the X-tal plate.
You will notice that the frequency goes down a
bit.
