Finally bought a 1000 a few months ago from the original owner. All I've done so far is take it apart and clean it and put it back together. It's a beauty, near mint. Sadly it's still sitting in the middle of the living room on the coffee table where I was cleaning it, I haven't even turned it on yet. I need to build a computer table to fit into a small nook of the house I will locate it at. That probably won't happen for a few months more ...
The 1000 was the first Amiga I ever saw in the flesh and indeed it impressed the hell out of me. Always wanted one, couldn't afford it back then. I always thought it looked great too. Taking it apart it was neat to see it was made in Japan, I didn't know that.
