Hi Everyone,

First post. I have a 1978 (according to both the speaker code and a nice little note left on a piece of tape inside the chassis by "Shirley" the line inspector) Kustom II Lead combo with a single unbranded 12" speaker that I picked up several years ago. I'd like to start gigging with it and there really isn't much on these babies out there so I thought I'd come to the experts with my two questions.

1) I was hoping somebody could tell me what the ohm rating needs to be so I can have the option of using an external cab. The speaker is totally unbranded with no indication on ohms or manufacturer save this stamp: "038-0084-00 29570 2857834"
2) The reverb no longer works which seems to be pretty common for the Lead series. I opened up the chassis and the tank is still in there with its original cables and everything looks good but still doesn't work. Anyone have a suggestion on how to go about fixing it or should I just bring it to a tech?

Thanks for any and all help in advance. I looked through the entire forums for answers before posting but couldn't find anything on the single 12" model.
