Up for sale is a vintage 1996 Garmin GPS 38 handheld unit. This unit is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair as it does not currently power on.

​The Standout Feature:

The exterior of this unit is in exceptional physical condition. Most importantly, the LCD screen is perfect—it is clear, free of the common "LCD rot" (black bleeding), and has no cracks. This makes it an ideal "donor" unit for someone looking to restore a working GPS 38 that has a damaged display or a weathered shell.

​Exterior: Very clean, minimal signs of wear for its age.

​Screen: Excellent clarity; no bleeding or dead pixels visible.

​Battery Compartment: Clean terminals with no signs of past battery leakage.

​Buttons: All buttons are present, firm, and tactile.

​Note to Collectors: This is the classic 8-channel model from the mid-90s. Perfect for a vintage tech display or a high-quality parts salvage.

​Please review all photos for the exact cosmetic condition. Includes unit only.
