Hi folks. I recently picked up a K100-2 head and 1x15 cab. It's black and in very nice cosmetic shape...just one small cig burn and a few small nicks. It cleaned up great. It looks like the cab originally had a D140f in it but sadly that is long gone and replaced with a Pyle driver. I love the look of this thing and intend on getting it back to it's original glory. I have just a few questions (for now)...
#1 The amp plays and sounds decent but has a hum which seems to be a grounding issue. Will that clear up if I replace the power cord with a three prong or is there another "usual suspect?" I have other vintage two prong amps that don't hum nearly as bad when plugged into the same outlets.

#2 The reverb and tremolo are not working at all. I do not have the original footswitch. Is that needed to get them to work? I have tried a few footswitches I have from other amps to no avail.

Thanks in advance for the help...it seems like the people on this board are cool Kustom-ers.
