a simple(?) question for replacing clock

[daneman]

hi,

i trying to replace the clock of a Quad CDP-99 2 for a friend.
the clock-module i have here, provides 2,6V at 12Mhz.

than i measured the voltage direct between the two poles at the quartz in the Quad-player: it is 0,5V (!)

as far as i know, all the modules for replacement provide ~2,5 - 5V..

so is this player a special case, or have i measured something wrong..?

i have found a picture of it.. on the very left side is the quartz.

update: ..it was a stupid question.. - i measured the voltage between input and output of the quartz..
