After many years of waiting and negotiating I finally got me the set..!
A gentleman down the street had it sitting in his garage and I was after it for 2 1/2 years for him to sell it to me..
Today i heard he was looking for me and when he opened the back of his SUV
I almost passed out...X1000 and FM 1000. Never had seen one in person!
He said it was time for them to go and was I still interested..?
He did have them running recently and I did set them up for a quick listen.
On the FM 1000, I have never heard radio like that, even though it needs a tune up the drums,guitar,bass is incredable.
The Meters don't work...no current to the relays, missing jewels and the brass caps.
The x 1000 has a slight hum, one cap can gets a little warm and no stereo seperation..!! same from both channels when using the tuner and aux.. I used
the headphones and ran the left/right test through them,same in both channels.
I have to look for the X1000 service manual and try and find out why...
I do have one week 7247 onboard, and will try and get that swapped out.
