I'm working on a K-150-2 so far it had a couple 470 ohm resistors, I believe R14 and R15 if I remember right, totally smoked thanks to a shorted cap, C8 I believe. I'm haveing other issues now that the pc-5033 driver is working again. Pre amp 5066 has very little signal output I was thinking Q1 or Q2 but they seem to be OK Question I have is, How typical is the malfuntion of the IC nte-725? Next issue is in the effects pc-5068 "No Oscillation" I need a LM3080T can only find LM3080N or nte-996 anyone have any input here as in the compatability or where I can get the exact Transconductance amp. Thanks Ya'll from Texas cassent5150

PS I got a K-100-7 off ebay for parts a couple weeks back. I restored it back to life. Had to completely gut the amp replace a few items, all stock used Kustom parts and reassembled it. Its up and running and what a beast. Those 2X12's just sing. What puzzles me is the fantastic distortion that it will produce when pushed up around 9 on the volume. I've always known Kustom as punchy sweet clean and transparent sounding amps and thats how I always used them. I had no idea they could have that fat Stevie Ray Vaughn wall of sound. Is this a freek or does some of their models, like this one, have that ability? I have the K-50, K-100-1 head w/ 2X12 T&R Cab, K-150-2 W/2X12 Cab, more 200 heads than I'll count, K-III Lead and Bass heads also the K-IV Beast, I even have the 150 and 250 Kasino heads and none of them even come close to this K-100-7 Combo amp.
