Just picked up another amp today. I know its listed as a 400 series Energizer with harmonic clipper selective boost and a stereo/mono switch. Another amp saved from the jaws of death. It was so dirty I thought it was teal instead of charcoal. Cabinets are (2) D-130's, missing all the 15 inch speakers of course. What can you tell me about this amp since once again, I am clueless as to how its suppose to operate. Would be great if you guys could come up with owners manuals and post them on this site or if other Kustomites would download what they have. Just a thought.

The guy I bought it from claimed he bought it new in 68 and that you could use a Y adapter and play through both amps at same time. Other than that, think he partied too much back then and couldn't remember how anything else worked or if it did anymore.

So what's the story on this amp? He says it guitar and all the controls seem to agree with that. However, I thought "b" indicated bass.

Again, no footswitch with this unit and looks like it took a couple.

Final question, on the speaker cabinets I noticed that the ports were made of plastic and not chrome like I thought they were suppose to be. Is there anything out there that I can replace these cracked ones with?

Pleat, you'd better load up your truck with the stuff you want to sell and head for Iowa before I run out of money.

As always, appreciate all the help you guys give us rookies.
