OK, someone got a deal on ebay:


K200 head & cabinet

The unit was a little rough around the edges, casters are missing and it looks like the feet on the head are missing on one side. But $69 is a deal, regardless.

Wasn't me, dang it!

You sure that's a 200? It doesn't say 200 on it, or 100, either. I'm sure Don will comment on this =)

I'm sure the listing says it's a K200. Other than that, I'll bow to the experts.

That was a great deal, just to far from Michigan for me to bid on.
It's a K200A By Ross head. The K200B had the "200" on the face plate. You'll notice that below the light and input jacks it say By Ross Inc. It's hard to tell but the name badge might also say kustom by ross inc, but the ports appear to be the chrome plastic port tubes that would be found on cabinets after the A series amps where changed to the B series. It might be a transitional cabinet where they were using up the older name badges before going to the Kustom Electronics Inc badge.
It's hard to tell but the speaker jack might say CTS or JBL, so with the photo's it appears that the speakers are not JBL's but after 40 years, there are a lot of things that can happen with the actual speakers. They could have been changed out and I always want to know what speakers are in the cabinet at the time I buy one, and also what ohms are the speakers, it at least gives me an idea of how much torture the amp may have had with improper speaker impedances.
Still for 69.00 it was a really great deal. I hope it is going to someone who will get it cleaned up and enjoy it.

Ah, so the A series didn't say 200 on it? Interesting. You learn something new everyday =)
