Need Info on K200B3 [message #2353] Sat, 11 January 2003 03:06 Anonymous I finally got my first Kustom amp after playing since the mid '60's. It's just a working chassis of a K200B3, no 'cover' just barebones chassis. I need to know what speakers did it come with? (I see 2 speaker jacks on back, did it have 2 cabinets?) What is the RCA jack on the back for? Any schematics out there? Any additional info on this model would be helpful as Kustoms are cool amps but hard to get info on. Anyone have a spare head cabinet they could part with that would fit it? Report message to a moderator

It seems there are a lot of Kustoms floating around that have an inconsistent number of outputs on the back panel. With 30 some-odd years since the units left the factory, and various owners who have seen the need to customize , determining what might have been o.e. by referring to one specimen might be a challenge. I'm guilty of this as well - about 20 years ago, my 150SC 2x12 had an extra 1/4 inch jack and a potentiometer with a volume knob on the back panel. I also had a 110v outlet on the back. It has since been returned to stock (except for the power outlet). I have only one K200B3 and it has one 1/4" jack and 2 RCA jacks on it's back panel. Oh, by the way, if you're interested in a black 200B p.a. head shell with end mounts, I've got one I would part with. The black ones sound better anyway. :[] Report message to a moderator

The trouble comes when you try to put "A" series heads in "B" cabinets......and the reverse.....it can be done....but IT AIN'T PRETTY!BC Report message to a moderator

The RCA jack is a preamp driver output signal/ or line level if you will. about .775 volts. it can be used to drive another power amp or a tape recorder. Report message to a moderator
