A little of both, John. Not highly sought after...but not super-common, either.

I've had one or two in the past, but I never got around to restoring either one. I have restored the similar 38-4 in the past, it was a pretty decent performer. (The only difference between the 38-4 and 38-5 is the "Cone-Centric" automatic tuning used in the 38-4, together with the lack of a shadow meter.)
