Where can I find out info on a Cobra 32 xlr ?

It was / is a 40 channel mobile cb ( am only ) with built in SWR meter , modulation / rf meter ...and a unique item called a " channel 9 scan / monitor ". I am guessing that you could set the squelch, flip the 3 way switch to SCAN, and the rig would scan channel 9 and which ever of the other 40 channels you were listening to, and lock on whichever had a signal above the squelch threshold first...then resume scanning. The third position for the 3 way was for it to lock down on channel 9 regardless of the regular channel display. Any how, I need to know the rx & tx alignment controls for this unit. This was a rather large mobile unit ( as big or bigger than a cobra 29 as a reference, with no 3 way power plug in the back, but red/black wires going thru the back wall of the unit. I am guessing that this unit was on the market around 1977 - 1980 when the forty channel rigs first came out...?
The unit I have is in almost new condition on the outside looks, and all works on the unit EXCEPT for the light by the display under the CHANNEL 9 LED. On-the-air checks were good, all said it has excellent audio and easily readable modulation with the supplied original hand mike.

Any one that knows of a internet site would be appreciated.

No I dont want to sell it.
