Of late one of thr channels in my K-200-B-1 isn't working. It seems to be a common problem......What's up with this, anyone know?

Both of the channels in my 200B-1 still work. However, the volume in the "Bright" Channel is considerably less than in the "Normal" Channel. I don't know why???

I was talking to Gary about Kustoms, and he said that usually the cause of a dead channel is that the first transistor in the dead channel has been static zapped to death.... He said it is a common problem. Hopefully, this solves your problem.

I agree with Deb and Gary.....One of my 200 was channel zapped by a soundman at a blues festival. Took out the first two transistors in the circuit. Good luck! BC
