hello.I have never seen that model. but going by kustoms normal wattage = model name layout, I would say its 100 watts RMS 200watts peak.going by these same numbers and plugging them into the electronic Ohms law formula, where amperage = watts divied by volts, you get 200watts divied by 120 volts A/C= 1.67 amps. So I would say the fuse would be 2 amps or so.Please note that if your amp does not work and the fuse is bad, 95% of the time in a solid state amp the fuse blows in responce to a circuit problem.The amperage rating of any fuse is stamped on the fuse, most kustom amps use a pig tail style fuse that is soldered in so if you are not able to do such repairs I would take it to a repair shop. Hope this helps!

...hey Jim, is it a U-200 with 4-12's in it?...I have one and it's 200 watts RMS (all 200 thru one channel being that it only has one)...if you look around on this site and broadwaymusic.com they have the original sales brochures that you can blow up and look at the model #'s, specs, sale prices, etc....the U-200 on the model plate indicated that it was a 200 watt head that Kustom used for several different models in their Kasino line...the 'U-200' that I have with 4-12's in it is actually a Kasino model # 422 in the sales brochure...like I said, they used the U-200 model head in several of their different models...hope this helps, Rick...

I would have to differ as to the power ratings. The poer section in all Kasino's were 100 watts rms, or 200 peak. On the literature section of this site you can find the kasino catalogs. Kasino's used added power modules in their additional cabinets. Each added cabinet added another 100 watts rms to the total power rating. Kasino had the monster 16 12" speaker amp with the fold out wings. Each wing had a power module and the bottom 4 speakers in the main cabinet had a power module for the bottom 4 speakers. The amp head drove the top 4 speakers. So that model boasted 800 watts Peak power. Breaking it down 100 watts rms from the main head and 100 watts for each added power module would have been 400 watts rms or 800 watts peak. This system of adding power amps when adding speakers were carried over to the Kustom slant faced 250 series, but kustoms did add two more outputs to boost the rms rating of their amps to 125 watts rms/250 peak power. With added cabinet the wattage increased to 500 peak or 250 RMS. Don
