I have this Kustom cabinet and would like any information anyone could give me, including what it would be worth. I was told by the guy who bought it that he bought it in the late 60's or early 70's. The speakers don't work, but that may be a wiring issue. I do not have the head, he sold it already.
It is in great shape. Evidently it has been stored with the cover in his garage for years.

It is a 3 x 12 cab with Jensen speakers. You can check the wiring, but most Jensen's that I have had that didn't work, needed to be re-coned at 60 bucks each. It does look to be in nice condition, but it is black and 65% of all Kustom products were made in the color black. The way it sets, 200-300 bucks max, if that because it is in nice shape. The speakers if working would help some. If they need to be re-coned you are looking at 180 or more to have that done. The cover has saved it for sure over the years. This would take a K200B-1,2,4 head normally as it would be normally a guitar cabinet.

Hello Lonman,
You have received the answer(s) to your questions, so I cannot add anything there.
Somewhere around 1970 I bought a 200 B2 with the three 12 cabinet. I have that cabinet parked right behind me as I type.
Nice looking cabinet. Mine has a tear on the bottom front naug.

That is a nice speaker cabinet, I thought I would never own one, then I ran into two of them in like a 3 month period! They sound great! I have never had any problems with the Jensen's I have ever gotten in my cabinets, I would take the zillion screws off the back and see what the caper is! Here are my 3x12 rigs!----->

Yeah Like I said, i was not even in the market for a 3x12, just so happened they popped up when I had the money and when I was free to get them. The Silver came from Minneapolis CL, and the Gold came from Davenport IA, Music go round. I was lucky to get the Gold due I was coming back from Springfield Ill. Getting two 3x15 Jbl cabs and a Jensen 3x15 and a Cascade 1x15 + horn. That was a looooooong day!
Hi all, I am now the owner of this cabinet.. Question I do have, what is the proper wiring? Parallel or series? Right now, I believe it is parallel. So you all know, one speaker was blown - Deadsville.. It's been replaced, as I do not like things that do not work. I do have a K200B-2 head, replaced the light bulb and jewel (blue).. I just wanted to be sure that it is wired correctly for the maximum rock'n'roll-ness and loudness... Thanks!
Thanks Pleat. I have ohmed the other two, good readings. If I remember correctly, with all 3 speakers wired in parallel, I get a 5.0-5.3 reading. With Red being on the dot. Gotta tell ya... I am proud and happy as can be with to own this...
