I hope that Speff agrees with me, "De nada".

100 pm might apply to some cheap microprocessor crystals, but for
decades (before frequency synthesizers) , channel crystals were made
for radio telephones to within a few ppm. A 100 ppm crystal would have
caused the transmission on the wrong channel, a slightly smaller error
would cause bad audio distortion, since the signal would be partially
outside the receiver de modulator bandwidth.

When ordering a frequency for a specific frequency, specify also the
load capacitance or specify the frequency slightly (a few dozen ppm)
above the desired frequency and pull it down to the desired frequency
with a parallel capacitor. Pulling upwards is harder with a series
inductance.

Overtone crystals (typically above 20 MHz) have a more limited pulling
range.

Or if he really needs ppm-level accuracy/stability or better, replace
the crystal with a TCXO or VCTCXO (or even OCXO if warm-up time is not
important).

Eg. http://www.ecsxtal.com/store/pdf/vc_txo_35sm.pdf

or http://www.abracon.com/Precisiontiming/AOCJY.pdf

Specs are important, because the 4060 apparently won't work with
off-the-shelf frequencies, wheras the PIC or some equivalant
combination of HCMOS could.

Related to the inverse of the square of the overtone, so 1/9 range for
a 3rd overtone.

This is the actual crystal I ordered from digikey:

http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=X975-ND

If I get the thing dialed in, the 30ppm is tolerable for my
application. I will try 25pF fixed capacitor for the PI network part
of the circuit. If I am paranoid should I still figure a value to
limit the current so that @ 12V the max power is ~2mw? Am I running
into a greater chance that I will not be driving it enough to
oscillate? Or is the minimum power so far below the max power limit
that it does not matter? I will use a 2Meg resistor for the
foldback. Maybe a 25pF trimmer in parallel will let me dial the freq
right in. The specified crystal frequency is what I need. I am not
trying to shift it off the package frequency. I just want to put some
variability in so that I can compensate for stray capacitance after I
have mounted it in the tape deck.

Thanks Guys,

Yes, particularly if you care much about drift. This particular xtal
is rated at 1mW maximum.

Yes. You could empirically increase it until it doesn't start then go
down by a fairly large safety margin (maybe 3:1). Or work it out from
the transconductance of the oscillator amplifier (I think NXP
specifies typical values on their HC datasheet).

DC feedback = bias.
