ya know those old filter caps in those kustoms are known to hold their charge for months...even years...I'm thinking...if yer real quick..you can get at least a chord or two out of the amp when you first turn it on before the charge drains from the caps...then if you have like 30 other kustom amps in your collection, you can play a round of 12 bar blues one amp at a time....I mean, its worth a try..if you can't finish the song then tell your wife you need more kustoms!! makes sense.. seriously hope the whole power mess gets cleared up for you quickly..thoughts n prayers are with our yankee bros...I'm an old buckeye myself...ET

Yea, once I browed my friends power converter and hooked it up to my car, it came down to a choise of either some lights and my bed room A/C or some lights and my little K100. The lights and A/C won out this time.

Ok.. call me confused..but the way I figure..the kustom was still the right answer.. I mean, it has a nice purple light that fills the room, and if you turn it up loud enough, you'll get those speakers really pumping and that 'll move plenty of air.. I always wore out the back of my pants legs standing in front of my bass rigs on stage with the constant puffing coming out of those little chrome ports..life is good...Kustoms are the answer!!

If I did not have enough current to run my A/C and some lights off the converter, my back up plan was to power some lights and my variable 60 cycle AC power supply, bring 2 of my 2-15 cabs into the bed room, and drive the cabs with about 35 volts AC. That would move enough air to cool me off but I would say that falling asleep with about 92 DB of 60 cycle sound pressure in my face would be a challenge!
