Thanks Carlc...I'll definitely check them out, I appreciate the info. I've just been playing through it a lot, and really, really loving it. In my youth (15 yrs old) I really had no clue about tone, distortion, etc...I bought a 1968 Sunburst Strat from my girlfriend's older brother in '75 for $200, I'd turn the thing up loud, and that was about it! I kept that original K100 until I was 22, actually used it in the studio once as well, and the contrast between my Kustom and the lead players Fender amp was great... man, I spend a lot of time just admiring it too. It's like brand new cosmetically so it's a treat...I saw a black K100 B-2 I think it was ( 100w head and the 215 cab) with the tuck n roll - not even close to the same condition as mine...a few cigarette burns on the head, rips with the stuffing/foam showing through in a couple of places - dude was asking $1800...I paid 1/6 of that, so either that guy is dreaming, or I found the unicorn of K100's...
Either way, I'm incredibly happy and thankful to have mine. ]]>backlineguy2024-01-28T13:56:43-00:00Re: '69-'70 Kustom 100 2 power cord upgrade

For the screws like(similar) the original what you want are oval heads; you can get them here: fastenermart.com. They don't have direct replacements since the originals were chrome plated. They do have them in zinc plated wood screws, or what I bought were the oval head sheet metal screws in stainless steel (no worries about rust like the originals). Work great. They have #8 for the backs, #6 and even the small ones for the name plate and speaker jack. They also have the countersunk finishing washers in zinc plate, nickle plate or stainless steel.
Where are you located? I have a bunch of these.]]>carlc2024-01-27T15:32:21-00:00Re: Repairing a Kustom TBR400

When you get it up and running make sure the fan is good.
The fan in these amps runs all the time just so you know.
I am curious, did this transistor that blew happen to be on the side of the heat sink and dead center in front of the blade?
Hey Steve, I apologize I missed your response. The transistor that blew was in the center and at the end of the first bank of 4. Fan was in good working order as well.]]>weezykid2024-01-05T13:56:04-00:00Re: '69-'70 Kustom 100 2 power cord upgrade

Thanks Steve...I consider myself very lucky not to have anything rusty on this classic amp. I was able to find the screws and finish washers, and the washers I picked up were very close to the originals, so I think they're fairly close..hard to tell which are original. I've left the tank out at this point, and the power cable is perfect - switch and all work as originally, but without the polarity.
Thanks again guys for all the help and suggestions. I'll be back!]]>backlineguy2023-12-18T11:16:37-00:00Re: '69-'70 Kustom 100 2 power cord upgrade

Hey Steve, thanks for your help...I've got the power cable taken care of....one more question, hoping you can point me in the right direction; the screws that hold the back of the cabinet on...I'm missing 9 of them...is this something you have seen or heard of? any direction will be appreciated, and thanks again!]]>backlineguy2023-12-10T17:54:47-00:00Re: '69-'70 Kustom 100 2 power cord upgrade
