I've got my dad's 23 ch JCPENNEY pinto mobile, haven't talked on it in years. But when I did I always got good reports on how it talked.

Bad quartz crystal. The crystals are arranged with one set of six. Each one of this set covers four channels, except the highest one. Covers only 21,22 and 23.

Don't have a way to look up the exact frequency of the crystal you need. I'll try to remember next time I'm at work.

My ssb pinto was thought to have ahad a crystal gone bad or a dirty channel dial from loss of channels 21 to 23 that turned out to be socket for the driver crystal.
2 tiny peices of copper wire soldered in place of the old traces was needed to fix the problem
