Hi,

I just found this site today. Hellos everyone.

A new friend, fellow bassist, is giving me a Kustom K250 amp head. This I all I know about it so far (below). I don't have much to say about it today except that I am excited to receive it. I am a moderately capable electronics hobbyist, so I hope to be able to get it going again! I'm sure I'll be engaging some of you here for help. First I'll be looking for a schematic. Anyway, all I know so far is the message he sent me which I will share with you here now:

It's a Kustom k 250 bass amp head. One of the old "tuck and roll" amps from back in the 70's.

It worked when I got it. I never used it much though. One day I plugged it in and it didn't do anything other than make some kind of machine gun sound. Really weird. Anyway, I opened it up, just to see if maybe it was something really obvious, but nothing stood out.

Anyway, those old tuck and roll amps are really popular in certain circles. If you could manage to fix it, you could probably sell it for a couple hundred bucks, or add it to your collection.

So that's what I know. I'll receive it Tuesday. Will share pics and info when I receive it ..
