I purchased one of those VC2000s a few months ago. Up to that time, I was using the freq. counter function of my DMM. The DMM worked fine for AM, but I needed something to handle the higher frequencies of SW, and possibly FM bands. And like you, I was worried about the "as is" statements on a lot of the used Ebay items.

I used the VC2k to align a Farnsworth that I restored. I think it worked great as the dial pointer Is aligned with and exactly tracks the dial scale...and the radio is an excellent performer. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend that unit.
