Narrative:

Cleared to takeoff runway 33R (also given contact departure control with takeoff clearance). First officer was flying and we noticed that his VOR was inoperative. He remained flying while I looked over my left shoulder to check the circuit breaker for the #2 VOR. We were still on tower frequency because I did not hear clearance to contact departure control when takeoff clearance was given because that was nonstandard in the united states of america. We climbed to 5700 ft (SID says 5000 ft). I asked first officer to descend to 5000 ft. I contacted tower to ask if they wanted us on departure control. I contacted departure control, they said nothing about the altitude bust, but only that we were cleared to FL230.
