Don Hagar shows an example of a EWX in his videos. In order to really confirm that you have a EWX you need the original boxes which are stamped that way. Otherwise it could just be a 700E that someone put the the drivers from the 763e on as the 763e had the blind center driver and larger flanges to run on tubular track. Thefactory did make the EWX based on the few examples with the boxes that confirm this. Provenance is everything in my mind for the EWX, I would want to know the lineage of owners before I invested that kind of money. If the original poster's friend wants to restore a beater to run on tubular track then that sounds like a fun project, but as far as the collector value goes it will always be a restoration that has questionable provenance on whether or nor it truly is an EWX. He may have more luck finding a 700e, restoring it and putting a set of 763e drivers on it.
