Default Cobra 139 XLR help

I recently bought a Cobra 139 XLR at a garage sale for $15. The guy didn't have an antenna for it, so I couldn't check TX/RX, right then, but it lit up and didn't LOOK like it's seen the "golden screwdriver" (no extra switches, no missing/stripped out screws or knobs, no holes in the case, etc...I've always been told to STAY AWAY from those radios unless you know the person who did it and you know they know what they're doing)and I've seen the "it lights up, but I don't know what's wrong with it" ones go on eBay for $40+, so I bought it. I took it home, and found that the radio receives GREAT (TONS of skip with an indoor antenna!!) but no transmit (meters dim and deflect momentarily, but no "dead key" even with whistling) No power out indicated on my watt meter. Is there an easy and/or cheap fix for this? Can you still find the needed part(s) for this 35+/- year old radio?
