I ran across this listing:

https://chattanooga.craigslist.org/msg/d/chattanooga-vintage -1968-kustom-pa-with/7442331629.html

I thought the colored knobs were a pretty cool idea. They look like the same two-dot Cosmo knobs as the originals. This wouldn't happen to be another factory-produced variation, would it?

Also, the ad says 2x12 and 2x10, but it looks more like 2x10 and 3x8 in each column, am I right?

My guess would be the knobs are aftermarket. Far as the speakers go, could be the 2x12 plus 3x8 from the 150/250 PA series. UPDATE: confirmed Speakers are from the 302 series ... 2x12 and 3x8 ... took a bit of photoshop to enhance the serial plate off the speakers. Figured they were 12 on top and bottom because of the 8 pleats across.

Small Bear has carried the color versions of the knobs for a few years now. That could be the source for this patriotic display.

Well, thanks. I'd never seen the colored ones, didn't even know they were available.
And yeah, 2x12 + 3x8 - saw that in the Literature section. Those were part of the "newer" series, weren't they (the ones with the blue lit power buttons)?

Yes the 302 and 602 series of PA systems. I actually have a pair of those speakers. Love them.
