Using a LM301 OP-AMP as a crystal accosilator.

Sorry If I missed spelled the top part. I need to know how you can use a
LM301 OP-AMP or a SHMITT trigger IC to 10MHZ out from a tin can crystal.
Also I need to know if this can be done at +5VDC or do you have to go to
+12VDC? Another option I am also trying to figure out is to use a 4MHZ
resonator that has to out pins and a ground pin in the center.

I will use binary ripple counters to divide this down to 60HZ for a home
made digital clock I am working on. The A.C. coming from the wall will be
the primary clocking source but when it loses power I would like the
crystal circuit to take over and continue to clock the project. I would like
to keep this "cheap and dirty" if possible.

A hand drawn schamtic would help with this problem.

No. An LM301 has insufficient bandwidth. A Schmitt trigger inverter
generally won't self-start. Use a 74HCU04, unbuffered inverter.

Why is it that Democrats can't debate politely?
And are only rude and interruptive.
Lack of mental capacity?

The easy way is to use a 32.768 KHz crystal from an old watch
or quartz clock and divide it down to 1 second with a 15 stage counter.
There is an example schematic using the 4020 14 stage counter and one
additional D flip flop at:
