Hello All,
I have a black Frankenstein Head, on the back it says model C595
could anybody tell me about this model kustom ..it has 2 channels each has vol, bass, treble. with a fuse for power and a fuse for speakers...it works fine but this head cant be more than 50 watts? i was playing it through a kustom 2-15 cab everything on ten ...sounds good but its not the loudest amp ive heard...anybody have a clue how many watts output this head is?
someone told me this was a Pa head from 1967 but it only has one speaker jack on the back...so i guess it couldnt be,
I would like to sell it..how much should I ask? (no rips or tears) I paid 200.00
any help would be great....thank you

Im looking at the kit right now and I cut the top of the box off were it said the name of it, but I will describe it ,you should find it
1st I think I bought this at walmart, the box say Vinyl and leather Repair kit , it looks like the part # on the box is 80902 VR-1A, in the kit it has 7 little round containers of different colors, I just followed the instruction and then I praticed on a scrap piece of naugahyde for a couple mins and then I tried it on a beatup tuck and roll cab...I couldnt believe it, it was great after a while I could fix a tear in 5 mins or less. when I was all done I added a little black shoe polish let it dry, polished it and then added a little armoural .
when I called my girl friend to take a look at it she was amazed
unless you got down on your hands and knees you couldnt see the fix!!!!! this cab I had, had rips that were 2-3 inches long..they are all gone!! it was so easy after a while. that I fixed every single rip or tear no matter how small.. I never thought this would work so good but it is great..
PS. I also have a great fix for sparkle cab fixes useing kids sparkle glue and clear finger nail polish

well I dont know about a cure? it doesnt work as good as the repair kit ..but I got a K150 off craigslist and there were some bad tears on the bottom front (blue sparkle) it was bad, padding comeing out of the naugahyde.. well I had to decide,, do I sell it cheap, keep for my kustom parts dept, or try to fix the unfixable.. well I always love to try to do whats not possible so.....
Go to walmart again, go to the fabric dept,(were they keep arts and crafts) they have whats called sparkle glue.
as soon as you see it you will know.. its a perfect Kustom tuck and roll sparkle. it comes in cascade,red,blue,gold,and charcoal but the carcoal is not perfect, the other colors will blow your mind (they are exact matches)!! like I said when you see them in walmart you wont miss them, I think (5) bottles are like 4 dollars, I also saw the same thing in the dollar store for 1 dollar.
I closed the rips with glue, (your choice) super,model airplane...etc.. made sure I pushed in the naug a little so there is a small dent.. filled in the dent with sparkle glue, let dry for 30 mins. and then put clear fingernail polish over it, and keep repeating this process until its level or the way you want it...if I get my digital cam working I will try to take pics ... fixing sparkle is alot harder than black.
I have a blue K100 in Mint condition, and I have a Blue K150 (the one I fixed) I place them side by side and... not bad...
the black naug repairs are very hard to tell were they were repaired!! Sparkle are much more difficult
