or spend 10 bucks on a battery clock... no more timing issues with mains...

like I asked, it seems like a unnecessary waste of time... but if you are serious,  just bite the bullet and buy a 10ppm or less crystal ( if possible) and test it(start with simply replacing it on the control board)... there was a thread a few years back, a few went into the accuracy of the eg8010 and crystal combo ( maybe search here or anotherpower) and found it didn't drift all that much.. well the thread died..

also, again unsure if the oscillator would drift too, but the eg8010 has a frequency adjustment feature,  you could try and set it manually and see if you get the same drift... just a thought..
