I wish you well with the restoration of your KX-2501 and VTX-1000R tuner. I bought and owned those two models when they were available new in the USA, in early 1982. The cost was perhaps US$380 for the tuner and US$650 for the monitor, and that system utterly blew away everything else in the consumer market at that time.

In 1985, a local store had the KX-2501 (25-inch CRT) monitor for US$750, half of the retail price, so I upgraded to the bigger screen.

What was unique about this system was the ability to upgrade components as improvements were available. The original tuner VTX-1000R had cable tuning up to channel 36, then they made the VTX-1100R with 125 cable channels. Further, they also later sold the matching MLV-1100 (I think) that enabled broadcast stereo-TV sound. I remember getting those two units used at good prices some time later.

The SL-2000/TT-2000 will be a nice companion setup for your Profeel system as well.
