I just picked up a pair of 69 gold 4x10 tower speakers.I didn't pay much and they are in decent shape.Well,the guy was going to ship them and took the handles off to box them up.I have tried to contact him but with no luck.So now I need 4 handles,mounts and everything.I know...like hens teeth.I have read all the forums and will be getting in touch with my local Kustom dealer to see if I can still get handles for the coupe or TR12 models,but until that time...anyone ?

Monument Music has them from time to time. I bought 4 about this time last year The newer handles ar wider mount spacing but they can modify them. There are some correct spacing handles that will attach to the original mounts...I just bought 12 from JC but he's out of the pile he bought. He know where to get em tho.... Monument is probably your best bet since your seller seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth...GOOD LUCK!!!!!

thank you for getting back so quick.For the life of me I can not seem to find monument music anywhere.There is a place in shyboigan,but that is a music store.I may be wrong here..but the search goes on.And if this is the place you are talking about.I will call them early monday morning.

Thats the place... my littlekeyring light they sent with my order had everything but the "m" worn off. Contact them..... they don't always have them on hand so get your name in for what you need. I'd keep after the guy about the handles or demand a partial refund from the guy. Why he needed to remove the handles is beyond my comprehension...Monument has a customer service link ...Thats how I got mine.... I believe I ordered them on a Sunday and confirmed in stock status then.

I just sent an inquiry about the handles... I have a feeling they aren't carrying Kustom as a product line anymore but It can't hurt to see if they can special order for you... I'll keep you informed as to what I find out. Send me your email address and I'll forward what I hear from them on the subject.

I also sent them an email this afternoon.I do know a store in town that deals with kustom and from what I understand this guy was a dealer even back in the day.He showed me a picture of his bass set up at lehigh u. back in 1970.So if nothing pans out with this monument place,I will go see him.Thank you for all your help on this.I was expecting monument music to be like a supply house or something.

Good luck on that...keep me informed ...Tell him that us Kustom guys need handles. The three Kustoms I bought this week all had nice handles and I have enough from JC and Monument to take care of all my current collection + a few spares.

I surely will,and thank you for all your help with this.I like to say I am a Kustom enthusiast,coz I can't afford to be a collecter.I do have a very nice 68 K-100 with 2x12 CTS cab I use for the blues band I play with,and now these speakers.The guys loved them.As soon as I hear from the guys at monument,I will let you know.Heck,maybe they could start a side line business just supplying us here with handles.Anyway,thanx again.

well,I just got an email from monument and they are sorry but those handles are no longer offered coz they discontinued the coupe.I do have a call in to my local kustom dealer to see if he can get them maybe...I will let you know.It's like we do need to find some one to knock out a thousand sets for us that wouldn't break the bank.Well,the search goes on...

well,I just got off the phone with the kustom guy here and I got some good news and some bad news...Good news is you order a replacement handle for a deville 3276 cube and it is a direct replacement according to the tech he talked to.And they have them in stock.Bad news,they are alittle over $31.00 apiece...So will keep looking coz my wife would cut my..well,parts of me I am sort of fond of if I blew over 120 bucks on four handles.So...

31 Clams a pop....ouch!!!!! I got same response from Aaron at Monument... about the coupe series amps... I paid 15 +5 to modify them to fit a vintage Kustom...Why Kustom is charging 31 a pop is outrageous. Then again the music store may be getting them for a 10 spot and gouging you at 31 retail...Getting some one to make a thousand for us would be prohibitavely expensive.

$31 is less than they quoted me a couple of weeks ago. They told me they were $39.95 + shipping.

Highly unlikely on a bunch at the convention. I have 10 or so extra, 4 vintage that are very nice and 6 that are new ones I got from JC and had to add my own mount to them. You need to get the ones that need the mount and buy a few of them and get one of the guys that has some extras without inserts to sell them to you for the mounts.

I have just ordered 50 replacement handles and they will be here mid May - They will be the insert and bracket - You will have to use your existing mounting hardware. They will be $10.50 each plus shipping and sold in pairs only. Send me an E-mail if you'd like some and I will post later what, if any, are left.
