6 radios for $40, a pretty good deal. I don’t buy older radios anymore but I couldn’t pass on this.

Galaxy 949 - working, unmolested
Cobra 29 - working but someone has pulled the center out of the coil adjustments and clipped the limiter.
Cobra 25 - working good
Cobra 25 - working good


Cobra 29 - centers missing from coils, limiter cut, keys up, no modulation
Cobra 138 XLR - powered on and received but as soon as I keyed lights dimmed, receive cut out and it’s stayed that way, not getting enough power. Relay is working though which is good.

Radios were literally sitting in a box in a barn with bird crap on them. They don’t look too bad after 2 hours of cleaning.

If someone really wants the messed up cobra 29 and cobra 138 xlr to test their repair skills they are welcome to them, just pay shipping. I don’t really feel like repairing stuff I have no intention of using :)
