Thanks Forrest, all good points worth mentioning.
Just to fill out - the white part in question is a 1Mhz ceramic resonator, and could theoretically be replaced with any other matching those specs providing it fits in the case. Currently the exact fit Murata ones are NOS on ebay for £1.80 for two plus £1.20 postage. They are otherwise no longer manufactured and most modern replacements operate at much higher frequencies and won't work.
Cheers,
James.
