Long Time Reader, first time in the mix here. I have a Kustom 200B 5 PA set, SN: 39257, according to the SN chart that makes it approx a 27 June 1969 MFG date. Got it in a JAX, FL pawn shop for my 21st B/Day from me to me in 1977. Was red T&R but unfortunately I had all 3 pieces recovered in smooth black vinyl in 89'. Had it completely cleaned and re-furb inside in 94. Added the grounded 3 prong power cord according to KustomBlues (Thanks) instructions 2 years ago and my lips have yet to be numbed from the mike never more again. I had not played my guitar thru it for several years and in 2001 I got a Digitech GNX2 RP-2000 and for GP I just plugged it in with my Gibson Blues Hawk and was this ever sweet. The 2 tower cabs still have 7 of the 8 original CTS speakers PN: 5812218 in them and they're still loud and clean as day one. I really lucked out with this cherry unit and it's still kicking after 35 years.

Hi, I would send that bad cts out and have it reconed, just make sure who ever recones it can reinstall that aluminum dust cover.

The speaker hit the trash in the 80's when I replaced it. I didn't know when I was younger that speakers could be repaired back then. I put in a Sunn Beta lead amp speaker and then bought some other off the wall brand speakers to put into the Sunn.
Dumb & Young back then
