    Anyone wanting to try the K1000 sound as it was when new this is your chance.

    Heinz did a beautiful job on the restoration:
    - Drivers have been reglued to make sure they last another 20 years
    - Back foam replaced as it wasn't fit for purpose anymore due to age and caused a 100Hz bump in frequency.
    - The typical K1000 rattle has been fixed
    - Leather has been reconditioned.

    The driver is bass heavy from the first batch as confirmed by Heinz.

    Price: 750£ net to me. Friends have priority.

    Not sure there are many fresh restores of these legends available! Price isn't horribad, good luck with the sale— I'd totally jump on these for the novel presentation if I had the ampage for it (and wasn't effectively strapped at the moment, haha).

    Somebody please take it before I do! :eek:

    My experience with m17xr2b has been nothing short of fantastic (bought some tubes for Stratus) so buy with confidence.

    Accepting reasonable offers. You never see these in such condition.
