id say fix it especially if it's an 16-mc1000d....not sure about the 6-mcd1000 (newest ones) but im sure thier still just as good. the mclass stuff is quality, used 16-mc1000d tend to go around 250ish minimal so if you can get a quote for cheap then gofor it....at least memphis will provide a warrannty after fixing it. solid *** amps, i loved my old 1000d
