AC Line is sort of sinusoidal, so 8th harmonic content is probably not
all that wonderful, but a PLL with a DIV8 as feedback should work
great... do it all in cheapy CMOS, at low power ;-)

AC -> XOR gate -> RC -> XOR gate -> RC -> XOR gate

:)))))

BTW, I actually used that sort of thing for frequency doubling in one
of the projects...

Yep. I've done that sort of thing clear up into the GHz range.

I called a local custom crystal manufacturer -- $18 for a 7864320 Hz
Crystal. The most straight forward approach looks like the CD4060B.
I found a source $3 for a pack of 25. If you look at Fig. 13 in the
data sheet for the CD4060B, it shows how to hook the crystal up to the
chip. All I need is two caps and two resistors. The crystal
manufacturer said that he would give me the values that I need to
calculate C1 and C2. I am wondering what value I would need for RC.

Thanks,
