  Have you tried calling HP Direct at 800-538-8787 ?  The 38E manual is
no longer listed in the HP DPD, but this doesn't always mean anything.  I
have bought unlisted manuals for old calculators this way in the past.  Even
when they don't have original manuals HP will provide photo copies (for a 
charge, of course).

  Seems a little high to me (I have more calculators than Tom, but fewer
HPs) - $40-$50 _WITH_ manual, case and AC adapter (but bad batteries) or
$20-$30 for a bare calculator.

  I don't have a 38E either, or I'd offer to copy the manual for you.
Wanna sell ?? :-)
