On the K250-1 bass head rear panel, there's a jack labeled "To Module - Input." I'm guessing it's used in conjunction with the powered 1-18 folded horn cab from what little I know about the setup. Could this jack be used to plug in a power amp? Also, is this head 4 ohm?

Thanks for the info K_B. A friend is selling a good bit of gear, including several Kustom items. This head and matching 2-15 cab is one. He also has the folded horn 1-18 cab (non module style) and a K200 bass head that I'm helping him sell and have in my possesion. I've already told him I'd take the folded horn 1-18 and I was debating on the 250 rig realizing that that head could be used with and is a match for the folded horn cab also. The folded horn cab has some rattles that I'll have to work on. Any idea on the speaker as to power rating and ohms?

Yes, all K250 heads came with the module output jack.
Many of the folded horn cabinets have blown 18" drivers, its a fact that back then voice coils that could handle over 100 watts RMS where few to none and top that with my feeling that the CTS driver that Kustom used was not really made to be in a sealed horn inclosure and itd not hard to see why so many have gone south out of so few made!

I agree Steve, I have my 2 x 15 + siren cabs with Altec 418's that I use for mains for my PA that I run 700 watts to them with no problems, but just because I run that to them doesn't mean that I use it all either. It is hard to say how many watts really are running to them, but I do have a lot of head room.  I don't have any problems with it at all and it is crystal clear as well.
The most speakers that I have found blown are CTS and KEI's for sure. Once in a while I will find 12" Jensen C12N out of K50's and why I have no idea. I have bought a few K50's and one K150 that didn't work and it was because of the speaker.
I love the Altecs...lol!

I actually have two of these modules, one I purchased in a blue 2-15's cabinet and the other bought separately. It seemed to me to be a waste to have only 1 speaker cabinet dedicated to this amp, not to mention the additional weight. I took it out and built a cabinet for it that included an internal fan, accessible fuse, grounded plug and an on/off switch. Cabinet is covered in the charcoal gray carpet that was used in some of the later Kustom power mixers. I even found some Kustom decals as an added touch. Now instead of dragging two K-250 heads around to go with my (2) 2-15's cabinets I only need the one and the module. I will try to post pictures once I have reached the required posts to do so.
It is heavy but has surprising few components. Really wouldn't take much to reproduce one if parts are still available.
