unknown models to me!
http://www.vintagekustom.com/FUDforum/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=9141&th=1744#msg_9141
With the catalog came a 1973 dated price sheet that listed the at that time 67! different amp combos and models. In that line up, under the PA listing is a model 595 and 795 pa set up. They also in the price sheet list these model energizers(HEADS) seperatly, but these two models are not shown in the catalog.
What the hell are these models folks?]]>stevem2008-01-16T11:55:58-00:00Re: unknown models to me!

My late 1968 K200 PA head is stamped model 200B-5(which is what I have always seen on these models)so has any one on this forum seen, or have a late k100 pa head stamped model 595, or a late k200 PA head stamped model 795?
I can not see why Kustom would revert to a older type model number scheme.
What say you all?]]>stevem2008-01-17T11:21:03-00:00Re: unknown models to me!

I thought I heard Bud say a long time ago that the 595,795, etc referred to the suggested list price.
from experience in ownership, I've seen "transition" models both in terms of the plate labels, components (ie: a K100 chasis in a 2x12 combo that has a 4 port speaker back instead of a 2 port...usually you'll see the 4 port only with the later 150 plexi chasis not the 100), or the same 4x10 or 4x8 PA columns sold with both the older plexi 100 head or the newer slant 150 head...then there was the older confusion caused by early day warranty...and Bud has some fun stories of how they would take an amp in on warranty, yank the serial plate, put it on another rig altogether just to get things turned around...so you could wind up with a newer model amp with a newer designation scheme on the inside paperwork, but have an older plate on it with the 595 listing. the fact that it's in the catalog..yep..just a hold over of inventory models...remember they had market issues with items like the 11 pleat wide hi-freq cabs that were created as an add-on to the first issue 2x15 cabs, but the year that the hi-freq cabs came out in the catalog, the manufacturing models had already changed to the 12 pleat wider series, so guys interesting in a hifreq cab would have been existing owners only...then there's the obvious item listing for the JBL options or Altec loads..same exact gear..just with the more expensive drivers. But we have to recognize that this lil company exploded in such a short period of time and significant changes were being made as they were pioneering the solid state market..so in the short span from 67-71 there was just an incredible effort going on.]]>ET !2008-01-18T14:37:18-00:00Re: unknown models to me!

So My K200B-5 SN: 39257 (Approx MFG Date = 27June69) head was supposed to be 795 beans in 1969. I paid 400 beans for it out of a jacksonville, Fl pawn shop in 1975 and I thought I was getting ripped off but I just HAD TO HAVE IT for me 21st B/day from me to me. Never regretted buying it and it still kicks butt.
