Sounds like you've got a real winner there! Your amp includes a fairly unusual speaker set-up. Three twelve cabinets are uncommon by themselves, but add a two ten cab and all in red!!!
Of course condition is a huge factor in any amps value. Electronics can be repaired and updated, but the cosmetics of Kustom amps are a big part of their value. Due to the fragility of the Kustom tuck and roll, few survive undamaged.
I'd say we would all love to see photos, and would appreciate updates as to how it works/sounds. This would help in evaluating it's dollar value.

I checked out the photos. Really nice!
The overall condition appears to be good to excellent. The head I think is a K-200B-2 with reverb and vibrato. There appears to be one speaker changed or re-coned (the center one has a different dust cap), and the 2-10" cab is actually a 2-siren horn cabinet.
I don't know where you are located, but in a vintage shop here in Chicago, your amp would probably sell for $700-$900 in good working condition. It would probably sell higher to a collector type, because of the horn cab and the condition, but most players would probably not care. Red is such a great color, it usually sells for a premium price around here.

If you put it on eBay, be sure to use lots of clear photos and detail any faults. I've seen some stuff sell for amazing dollar amounts. If you get the right guys bidding, you could double what I estimated for the whole rig. The one drawback will be shipping it.
I wish my pockets were deep enough... If it was a red Frankenstein head, maybe I'd get a second mortgage.
