TM 808 White's

The poor availability of custom cut quartz crystals these days was discussed on here before. One solution was MEMS based oscillators, some of which are programmable, some are fixed ( pre-programmed? ). I see that some have quite low operating frequencies, below the usual "quartz crystal range".
Here are some made by Microchip, as examples:

With Active Xtal 25.60 Khz :

I found an active crystal of 25600Hz.
25600/4= 6400
psync 1600,
800 and 400

The resonators should be easily obtained, I checked eBay, there were several sellers. The oscillator circuit is similar to that of a quartz crystal, with some component value changes ( lower resistances, etc ) , so you should be able to use the existing 4011 NAND gates.
And the divide-by-16 can be done with any CMOS counter, such as the CD4024.

OK, I will searching for one, thx

Your crystal problem could be solved by using a 420 kHz ( or 429 kHz ) ceramic resonator, and dividing it by 16.
This gives equivalent crystal freq and operating freq of:
420 kHz > 26250 Hz > 6563 Hz ( and 429 kHz > 26813 Hz > 6.703 Hz ) These resonators are used in TV remote controls, mainly, but also some radio IF circuits instead of 455 kHz.

I still can't find the xtal 26.37khz or 211.2....

How did you solve it?

White's 5900 and TM808 works in the same frecuency ? :

wow.... SMD board =) sweet...

Yes, quite sweet indeed. But surely there is better solution to "hot snot" Picasso is rolling in his grave
