So how are people suppose to get their hands on the Kustom manuals for service and repairs? The current company doesn't have copies to sell; the Kustom service centers I have contacted don't want to work on the old stuff, and your lucky if a local repair shop will even attempt to touch one. So its not like your competing with Kustom and stealing money from them; more like they are wanting the "vintage" stuff to die off and disappear. For my way of thinking, they'd be smart to go back to the original Kustom design and re-vitalize it to bring it up to date; sell repair parts and technical info to the general pubic.....all of which would increase their bottom line and keep the Kustom name alive. Lets be honest, it wasn't the Kustom sound that got the attention, it was it's appearance and how well it was built.
