It should have been "This is someone else's garbage, pure and simple. I took a broke SBE Console V and slid a Cobra 148 in the back. That doesn't work either. No one will know the difference"

I see no ingenuity attempt when he put it together. He should’ve at least screw on a bottle opener on the side or duct tape a compass over the top with a pull out cup holder in the front.
But if he really want fetch top dollar, all he has to is put a Dale Earnhardt picture over the front bezel, then it will sell for sure.

Now, in a wacky way, I do admire his craftiness, but it sounds to me like he destroyed a perfectly fine cobra to make this frankanstein. This would be a fun project if he had done this with a very cool looking base, like a DAK or something that was trashed but looked great, but that? Each to his own. I hope he enjoys it, because it is his for life now. But........we're talking ebay here, so you never know. -drdx

Wow that gets me thinking, I've got an old Knight kit radio around here somewhere, get an old 29, put it inside add a few lights and switches. Maybe add one of those little Stinger boards, or some kind of built in noise toy? Look out Fleabay!!!

He needs to get rid of all his crap because with the inlaws moving in for a couple of months his singlewide trailer will definately get cramped.

It looks like he basically hollowed out an old SBE Console V and put a 148 inside. Why he did this, I dont know.

The SBE is an awesome radio, he should have put some work into it. I'd take the SBE's receive over a Cobra's Modulation anyday!

$74.40 from New York to Alabama! This dipwad must have the weight listed at 100# or something. I bought a Trinidad (Boat anchor radio!) out of Washington state and the shipping was $18.00!

It is sellers like him that give eBay radio sales a bad rap. Of course, I like it that way. Keeps all of you radio vultures away and I can selectively shop and score some decent radios. :lol:
