Hey guys. I'm new to the kustom world. I've always wanted one but never had the $$. Just found a great deal($65) on a k200b-2 so i snagged it.
It has some issues.
1. new pot wired in that connects the volume knob and then the input jack on the bright channel.
2. NO reverb tank...this makes me sad.
3. Still has original ungrounded power cord.

I have read the thread on how to remove the "death cap" and replace the power cable, but cant find much information on where to connect the reverb tank once i purchase a replacement. as for the extra "gain" knob previous owner added, i'm just going to desolder it but leave it in place so i dont have an empty hole in the plexi.

And i would like to recommend adding "sticky" subjects to the "how-to repair" section so newbs like me can find the answers easily. You know, take the most common issues like cap replacement or blown speakers or whatever, and put them as sticky subjects at the front page.
