Hi All,
I am new to the clan so excuse my ignorance of all things 'K'.

I have just got a K150-2 T&R (1971 from serial number) which has been modded for the 3 core mains lead (I live in the UK so essential over here) but is a bit noisy with hum building up and discharging. I don't mean normal hiss, this is a real hum and as it builds up the volume decreases, then it pops and goes clean again for a while. Is this likely to be one of the big caps dying? Other problems are that the outside is very tatty with cigarette burns and tears and the push switch/light units are FUBAR. The questions here are can I get replacement switches and would anyone shoot me if I took off the T&R cover and just covered it in Tolex?

Assuming anyone is still friends with me after that last Q, my other Kustom purchase is a PA/mixer...The III BC PA. I know little about this other than it seems to work OK, but I need some info about how to get the best from it, what are the all the controls supposed to do, what is the output and what speakers should I be using? Lots of Qs...sorry. I am currently running it through a pair of Celestion G12-80 (80 watts RMS a piece)and piezo tweeters, connecting one to each of the two output jacks. I've not been abe to really crank it up yet so I don't know if these speakers are up to the job. I think the output of this baby is 130watts but I don't know if that is per channel or total.

If anyone can give me some tech info on I'd be most grateful.

Cheers,
Bikerboy
