Old RCA 16S100 scanner question

[bigstinker]

Hi, I have an old RCA scanner and I'm looking to pickup local Police and fire.

Here's a link that shows a good picture on the really old scanner- http://radiopics.com/MiscSC/Handheld/RCA_16S100.htm

Here are my local frequencies according to this site- ScanOhio.com - Portage County Ohio
159.135 Aurora Ohio Police Dept.
154.295 Aurora Ohio Fire Dept.
155.655 Aurora Ohio Police Dept.

Since this scanner says it supports the following frequency - Range: 30-50 / 150-174 MHz I think it should work assuming I have the right crystals. So that leads me to my two questions.

1) Do you think this scanner will work for me?
2) Where the can I find these crystals? Radio shack?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Have one of these up for sale if you would like another.
Unfortunately, I do not have the crystals that you need.

It should work just fine. I am not sure who still cuts crystals anymore. I had one of those scanners way back when. Something else to consider is who else might be on those frequencies because that scanner does not support PL tones. You might try a google search for radio crystals. Have fun, they were good receivers!
