It was "restored" by the guy that sold it. That said I would still never spend $900 on a glorified Cobra 148 w freq counter, speaker, alarm clock and average power supply. I recently purchased a like New base station 40Ch SSB built much better than the Cobra 2000 ever was in terms of components used, design, rf shielding, etc....It does not have a clock or freq counter built in but I can get a clock if I need one for less than $9 or use my $29 cell phone, laptop, computer or one of the many clocks in my home. I spent $140 including shipping. It arrived at my home 1400 miles away from the point of sale 2 days after I paid for it well packaged.
You could get one heck of a nice gently used but older all mode HF+ rig for $900. You could purchase a life time supply of high end tubes for $900 assuming you know how to use a tube amplifier.
I have 3 boys I could buy them each a nice 40CH SSB mobile with freq counter, antenna's for mobile use and LMR 400 coax for them all and be under $900. So put into perspective $900 for a single base station unit for CB is shocking!
