Bud Ross had a Brother In Law whose name was Thomas ( Tom ) Woodson
During the time of production, a lot on musicians did not care to much for the Tuck and Roll material on an amp..
Musicians were looking for amps that were good and loud at that time and so the take off of amps from Kustom
were Kasino...Camco.. Woodson and I believe a few others...
At that time, sales were going down so they went another route of production with these other amps...
Tom Woodson started his line of amps with production parts similar to Kustom and higher number PC Board numbers ( which ) are not listed on the Kustom Website...( My Woodson 150-2 PC Board is PC 5116 )
How long they lasted or where schematics are no one seems to know...
I have recently got in touch with Bud Ross's wife who was glad to email me and we emailed for a little while and she got in touch with old employees ( I think ) who didn't know where Toms files got off to...
Maybe destroyed or down in an old file cabinet in someone's basement or storage...
She told me that Bud had passed sometime back and she had re-married and really couldn't shed any light
on their Parts/ Schematics/ or other items....Oh and by the way, Fred Barry was Bud Ross's electronic whiz while Bud did most Cabinet work...
I do know that Kustom went into a line of production involving Radar / Scanners etc...
I'm still looking for my schematic for my Woodson 150-2 / 212 amp....
Hope this helped....
