Rigged up the cherry blue 1000 I got off feebay with one of my custom knob guards and modded carbon fiber shaft. No joke. I'd guess this 1000 was used once and put in a closet. Inner coil ears don't even have a scratch. Gonna test this 1000 against Kapi's high power 1000. Also going to test an Equinoxxx against my CTX, DFX, two Excalibur 1000's and maybe an Excalibur ll next week.
