Default Modifying Old Crystal-Tuned Scanners

"Chris F." wrote in message
...
I recently bought a bunch of old base scanners, mostly some early Uniden
Bearcat models from the late 70's. I didn't realize that these were
crystal-tuned units, and now I'm stuck with them. I was wondering if
there's any way to modify them to be adjustable. Perhaps an extra circuit
employing 8 simple oscillators with adjustments, connected to the 8 crystal
sockets?
There must be a way to do this......
