Can someone give me a ball park figure on what a Cobra 138XLR in decent
shape with original hand mike, manuals and maybe even the original box -
would be worth? A local widow who used it, is selling out. I'm trying to
find out how much she should be able to expect for it.

Thanks,

I've been out of CBs for a while as to buying/selling - can't even remember
all the makes and models as I once was able to. I looked up the 138 XLR on
E-Bay of which there are two of. This lady's radio is a "BASE" radio, not
mobile. Maybe the 139???? She said it was a Cobra XLR 40 channel side-band
set. "I" didn't see the radio - she called me on the phone about it - also
suggested a 138. Due to age, probably got a number wrong. It is boxed up
from what she had said. Sorry for confusion.

Cobra 138XLR if I recall correctly used the 858 chip. Easy to modify but has
to be at least twenty-five years old from my estimation. I wouldn't pay more
than $25-$30.

Maybe I called your cell, it was an hour or so ago. Did you leave a
message when you called me?
