The PC5065 is the basic 125 watt power amp board that was used in many of the later Kustom heads, like the 250 metal front amps. The only source that I know of is to salvage the board from another amp.
How badly burned is the board you're working on? Or are you thinking it would be easier to swap out a board than to replace individual parts?]]>chicagobill2009-08-12T19:04:01-00:00Re: need part

Good luck on fixing it. I had a board and sold last fall. I still have one that is in my lll monitor amp, but the amp is still working, so I don't think I can part with that one. I do have the rack mount housing and filter caps, and 7 band EQ that is missing the power amp and transformer. Still has the bridge rectifer and some other misc. parts if any one has a use for it.

If you do not mind me saying it sounds like you have enough tech level to be a parts changer( thats why you are looking for a whole driver board) and may no know or have the tools to test for bad outputs, and these do not burn up like the board to tell you they are bad.
If I am guessing right here with what I posted, than at this point I would take the amp to a repair shop as they can probibly save the board also.
Good luck on the fix, and let us know if you need more help and how the repair has gone.]]>stevem2009-08-13T10:02:25-00:00Re: need part

Any of the III series, lead or bass, will have it. The LF section of an VIII biamp will have it, many of those fried the HF section.
As far as the outs...they are 2n3055's...dirt cheap...just put in a new matching set. I used RCA's, 4 should be less than ten bucks.
I did repairs for the String Shoppe in Columbus we sold hundreds of those.
I sold enough Kustom stuff to spend the weekend in Vegas with Kustom's head honchos. This was late 70's.]]>liquidator2009-11-13T22:07:20-00:00Re: need part

Your insight and history will be most welcome and useful here. A few of the guys here also sold Kustoms back in the day and any added info will truly be appreciated.]]>chicagobill2009-11-14T16:34:12-00:00Re: need part

We sold the heck out of those biamps....actually the second generation rack mount was mostly what we had...XII BAS.
I doped out the crossover circuit...we never used the 500 Hz setting...I modded some for 800/1200/2000, it's a simple job.
I used stacks of these for a few national acts, they were happy.
I'm a little rusty on audio repair, have been servicing PC computers since the mid 80's, so if anybody needs help in that vein feel free.
I'd love to have some XII BAS amps and MF-1012 horns still.
My only regret from the Vegas trip was we couldn't get enough tickets for the entire group to see Sinatra so we saw Wayne Newton....fun but not a fair trade. ]]>liquidator2009-11-14T18:40:22-00:00Re: need part

I think I bought some FLH15 cabs from your store back in the early 80's. I remember Wayne Summers did the dealer swap.
I always loved the Xll bi amp slave amps. I'd do a A/B between the kustom and a peavey CS800, the kustom was louder and cleaner than the CS800 and half the weight.
The biggest problem with those amps were the molex plugs. I had one guy give me a Xll two years ago, he said it was dead and didn't want to fix it. I opened it up cleaned the connectors and it worked like a charm.

At one point Charlie jokingly suggested he needed a loan...fellow from Chicago said Charlie could give him a Gretsch electric as collateral.
"You can put it on my sales floor, it won't go anywhere"
We sold a number of the FLH 15's. The cheaper model was MDF, our boss bought them and swapped in SRO's. Man did they weigh a ton...my back still hurts. Sounded good though.
One night of partying I dropped my wallet somewhere, had to borrow a C-note from Wayne. Managed to hit and paid him back an hour later. A C-note was worth a little more in those days.
Met Bud Ross around 78-79, he was thru showing off some Ross stuff. Have no idea why, we only ordered from him once. ]]>liquidator2009-11-14T23:49:47-00:00Re: need part
