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.

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 bought two old johnson messagers 250 plus an 135xlr the johnson work
fine but the cobra is off freq all for 50$ my 2 cents worth
