The PCB is attached to the heater plate
similar to that
below but now made milled as a one piece block.
The block is heated by a transistor, the thermistor for
temperature control
and crystal are mounted in the block.
The whole unit is thermally insulated and contained in
a tin plate box.

It is recommended to fine
tune to the required frequency by external potentiometer
connected to the internal
varicap diodes or connect to a PLL system.
