Try your local CB shop and see... there are a lot of them out there.
Ask around at a nearby truckstop and they'll tell you who does that
stuff.

Most of those guys probably have an old 23 channel solid state rig in
the parts bin somewhere that they'll give you to cannibalize for crystals.

Possibly, but sometime around the great trucker phenomenon, the crystal
manufacturers weren't able to keep up with the demand for CB crystals,
and so the synthesized 23 channel CB was born. You will need to find
a CB that was built earlier than about 1975.

I haven't seen a "local CB shop" since about 1975. I must hang out in
the wrong circles. I wasn't aware that anyone tried to make a living
fixing CB's anymore.

Tune to the lower part of the 10M band and you'll hear plenty of them
advertising. There's one that is on rt. 295 in Virginia that can be
heard all over the 6M band with their every-fifteen-minute advertising
message which the broadcast on channel 19 with some sort of mistuned
bandsplatter machine.

I think most of these shops make their money from installation and
modification work more than repair work, but there are quite a few around.
Not like during the CB craze of the seventies at all, but check your local
truckstop.

I have a couple drawers full of CB crystals. Whether I have any for the
radio listed, I'm not sure. I'm not familiar with that particular model. But
I can test all crystals sold for operation prior to shipping - as I have 2
different testers. What I will NOT do, is guarantee them once plugged in.
"I" do not guarantee electrical parts unless "I" personally insert them. ALL
are $7.50 EACH plus any shipping. Payments via Postal MO or Pay Pal.

Hi Guys,

I would be very surprised if you could find the crystals
I need in anything other than the Hammarlund CB-23 (or
the identical Lafayette model that Hammarlund made for
them). The CB-23 used a rather unique scheme of crystal
mixing that I've never seen in any other radio (and I've
been tinkering with CB gear since 1971). The frequencies
I need a

Y106 = 25.335 MHz
Y109 = 25.375 MHz
Y110 = 25.385 MHz

I'm assuming that they are 3rd overtone crystals, since
most crystals above 20 MHz are.

The holder type is HC-18/U (the small holder with solder
leads as opposed to pins).

Thanks and 73,
Dean K5DH
