Someone got a great deal, presuming it was in good condition
internally. As to the dial cord, that is 1/2 hr of time and $0.50 in
materials.
The biggest improvement which can be made and should be made with this
series is to replace the disc ceramic capacitors {8 of them} with some
real RF rated doorknob capacitors. This takes about an hour and $25 in
parts. The SWR drift issue with high power will be eliminated in doing so.
Yes, I'd say a clean working 238, any version, should be easily worth
$275 or more.
