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.
