Did they say how many they built total? Was this 60ish boards out of 100, 600, 6000?

Crystal failures are always a problem. We used to chuck a bag of them in a tumbler for an hour then on a tray on a vibration table for an hour. About 20% would fail on test from being entirely open circuit to being way off frequency.
