The size is just ridiculous
You have got hold of one of the 3 they ever sold, well done!
Weirdly enough someone else I know has one too. Finding the last one must be like one of those Jane Austen fivers...

Although I haven't seen if it will fit along with my GT-5 on my other board, yet - that has a perfectly good onboard tuner of its own though so it would seem like a bit of a waste.
The interesting thing is that it does work *really* well, though - I don't know if it's the long scale that makes tuning fast and easy, but I just tuned up with it (without listening to the strings) and the guitar sounds much more in-tune than it normally would with my TU-2 used like that. I know the TU-2 is only +/- 3 cents whereas this one is +/- 1, but I wouldn't have thought that would be noticeable. Maybe it is.

It was just a bit of a surprise how much more perfectly in-tune the guitar sounded after tuning with the TU-1000. Maybe it's that the big display does definitely make it easier to smoothly home in on the right pitch because there are so many more LEDs, so the steps between each one are much smaller.
I will now be honest and stop pretending to be a rock star - apart from the sheer pose factor I actually wanted it for its accuracy and big display for doing intonation in the workshop - the TU-2 is genuinely not good enough for that, and although my Polytune phone app is great for quickly tuning up (especially with a floating trem) I'm not convinced by its accuracy either.
It would have been nice if I could have got it on the pedalboard too though.
It also draws 350mA, which is a bit of a problem for my current ( ) power supply!

Or in my case, when sat in front of the workbench .
It is cooler than varifocals though, you have to admit. And it was less expensive.
