Hi,
How is the red vinyl - any fading, burns, cuts?

I think you have one amp head and two speaker cabinets - is that right?

How many speakers per cabinet and what size are the speakers?
Just measure the speaker cutout from the front - a 10 inch cutout means it has 12 inch speakers, a 13 inch cutout means 15 inch speakers.

Can you hook it up and test it?
Does it play loud and clean?
Does the reverb work?
Do all the controls work?
Does each speaker work OK?

Both of those speaker cabinets are rather rare, I have only in person seen 1 2-10" in all my 40 plus years of playing music and living in the N.Y metro area!

jcavspl:
Sounds like you've got a real winner there! Your amp includes a fairly unusual speaker set-up. Three twelve cabinets are uncommon by themselves, but add a two ten cab and all in red!!!

Of course condition is a huge factor in any amps value. Electronics can be repaired and updated, but the cosmetics of Kustom amps are a big part of their value. Due to the fragility of the Kustom tuck and roll, few survive undamaged.

I'd say we would all love to see photos, and would appreciate updates as to how it works/sounds. This would help in evaluating it's dollar value.

They never made cabs with 8 inchers, just 2 10s, the opening you see from the front of a 2-10 cab is 8 inches.

I looked at the pictures and it looks really nice!

Sure would look cool next to my red sparkle amp from the '60s

I checked out the photos. Really nice!

The overall condition appears to be good to excellent. The head I think is a K-200B-2 with reverb and vibrato. There appears to be one speaker changed or re-coned (the center one has a different dust cap), and the 2-10" cab is actually a 2-siren horn cabinet.

I don't know where you are located, but in a vintage shop here in Chicago, your amp would probably sell for $700-$900 in good working condition. It would probably sell higher to a collector type, because of the horn cab and the condition, but most players would probably not care. Red is such a great color, it usually sells for a premium price around here.

If you put it on eBay, be sure to use lots of clear photos and detail any faults. I've seen some stuff sell for amazing dollar amounts. If you get the right guys bidding, you could double what I estimated for the whole rig. The one drawback will be shipping it.

I wish my pockets were deep enough... If it was a red Frankenstein head, maybe I'd get a second mortgage.
