Hello all! Joining this forum because I am very curious about a Kustom PA System that I just fell into. It consists of a K8300 powered mixer and two 15" speakers w/ horn, all wrapped in a gorgeous Cascade R&P. There is a quality control slip in both speaker cabinets that show a date of 03/11/1987 (shoutout to the 311 fans out there). The K8300 has some production notes on the inside and is marked Kustom Music Inc. Fayeteville, TN, USA.

I can't find much at all on the history of these or the company's time in Fayeteville. Their customer service tried to help out and referred me here. If anyone has any info, catalogs, or a manual for these I would greatly appreciate it!

Hello and welcome.

This site contains no info for that year unit .

Maybe someone on the board like Pleat might have some info to pass along.

So it's covered with Cascade tuck'n'roll Naugahyde?  Wasn't there a series of Chinese remakes of the Kustoms, which included the TRT series?  I thought those were the 90s, though . Can you post photos of it somewhere?  (you can't post pictures here, apparently).

Found another 8300 on eBay, but this one is covered in rat fur:
