Thanks for all the replies guys. Turned out to be a bad crystal. I replaced
t with one out of a parts radio, and voila! Works like a champ.

That was fun. I've got a few other busted radios lying around here that I'd
love to attack as soon as I get proper service data for them. I just bought
these at the flea market yesterday. I fully expected that none of them
would work, which is what I wanted. If any of them did work, I wouldn't
have much fun fixing them If anything, I've got tons of parts now. I
paid 5 bucks (total) for:

Montgomery Ward 775 (40ch)
Pace 2300 (23ch)
Realistic TRC-24c (23ch)

All are mobile, and AM only. I'm getting to love fixing this stuff. What a
hobby.
