Wow...
All I can say is I've seen the pictures of X1 innards posted by
Kale (four X1 restorations)
Amp8 (six X1 restorations )
Beatle Fred, Harolda, Vintagear, the X1 restoration on Tapeheads.net, and a few others on other websites
and my two X1s...absolutely none (all of various dates of manufacture) have that modification.
For some reason you got the odd ones.
Now...we all have that one molex plug (the the red, black and blue wired plug in your pic) on the 2775, but that connection between the filter cap rails and the output transistor rails...you have the sole honor of having that.
It could come in handy, it could be an issue. Time will tell.
I think you'll be glad it was installed. You'll likely need that ease of access.
Only the best most experienced techs can sort out an X1 at first try.

I know it's better!
A 919 escaped my grasp a few months ago saw one on craigslist while I was at work but 4 hours later when I got off work it was already gone.I'm glad I got a 919. To many things to fix and change on the X1.
