Picked up a ratty 1000s in a trade, definitely needs a couple of tubes and possibly a recap. Otherwise it's in decent condition: tolex cleans up nicely, buttons work, grille cloth is intact, chassis has a few rust spots but can be worked over, transformers are definitely original and hopefully work. I've got all the knobs and other stuff. In the meantime I'm going to send the chassis off to a tech to diagnose and make any needed repairs while I clean/touchup the case.
Currently I have a concert lead (silver face) and a Beta Lead with a Sunn 402 cab. How do the 1000s models sound? I've never heard let alone seen a 1000s.
