Alas the fellow I bought it from didn't seem to have a clue about the FM IF's ( and at the time, I didn't have any extra filters. The writeup is very unhelpful in terms of even locating the FM filters physically. I bought the 2010 for AM DXpedition use, and it's been great -- I'm just very concerned that I might open it up and start working on it and do something careless and ruin the whole thing. I'm afraid my modification skills are still stuck in the hollow state era.
