Help identifying Kustom Head, Please? [message #19201] Sat, 24 August 2013 02:33   slowband Messages: 1 Registered: August 2013 Location: California Junior Member Hello. I actually signed up to get some help with some proper identification of Kustom 200 head. Like the year it was made, what exactly it's for, how much to sell it for etc. It was given to me years ago from the previous user/owner, he said it works fine, but I myself have never used it. It seems to match pictures of vintage pa heads, but I can't really find any other specific info. Here's the info: Kustom 200 4 channels it has 4 sets of knobs for a total of 16. On the back: Chanute Kansass Model: k 2008 5 Serial No. 43047 Patent No. 210,129 Output = 100x RMS Primary = 120v Freq = 60Hz Input = 1.8amps There also seems to be some numbers etched on the back right top corner, but they're really hard to make out. Something like this: 1-2?-78 ?-?-86 Anyway, that's about it. There seems to be nothing wrong with it physically other than some scuffs. No tears, the metal mounting clip things on the sides are there and they're solidly in place and shiny. The cushion roll case thing is black and shiny. The light comes on last time I checked, though I have nothing to hook it up to to test it out. Any help would be great. I'd really like to sell it soon! It basically looks just like this but it's black and sparkle free. http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/8/9/4/0/4/3/webimg/657049205_ o.jpg Report message to a moderator

What you have is what kustom call the PA amplifier. It6 was made circa Jul - Sep 1969. The Amp is cover in the basic Black Tuck and Roll witch is the most common. The amp 's value is what the market will give for it, and really the PA amps are the least valued. I would say high price is $150.00 But most likely they sell for $100-$125. I have seen them go for more.. but that's the target Id expect to see in today's market. -S Report message to a moderator

With Kustoms it is all about color and condition. 65$ of Kustoms made were black so there is the first thing, secondly like stated above it is a PA head, not a bass or guitar head. Not really a large market for them, but some people like them, but you won't get as much for the PA head as you can for a bass or guitar head. Report message to a moderator
