The Downsides of Waiting to Order Tuning Fork Crystals

Customers who miss out on stocking up during a buyer’s market may discover they require parts that are built to order and subject to lead time. This dilemma may cause production planners to bring in engineering resources to approve a second source or test alternative parts. Hastily made product changes or stock grabs, can result in more problematic repercussions, such as performance failures or counterfeit quartz tuning forks.

Be aware of unauthorized sellers that could be promoting low-cost counterfeit 32.768 kHz tuning forks that may not truly be ECS Inc. components. ECS Inc. provides the best-performing quartz tuning forks on the market that are quality-tested and function as advertised.

Do not risk receiving defective parts or giving up access to engineering support and a warranty by purchasing outside of ECS Inc.’s list of authorized distributors. Purchase from ECS Inc. now, so you will not have to debate whether it is worth the risk to buy low-cost 32.768 kHz tuning forks from unknown manufacturers down the road.
