Hi Phil,
First off, I would ground the chassis and eliminate the polarity reversal switch. That method of hum elimination has branded more guitarist's lips with the screen of a microphone than any other. E-switch also has a pilot light that looks exactly like the switch it compliments. I would put that in the polarity reversal switch hole and just wire it to light when the amp is on. The power switch only needs to be a SPST switch but E-switch only sells a SPDT switch. By removing the polarity switch, you only need to apply power to the transformer. I see that you are in France and usually mains switches are 2 pole, one for the "hot" and one for the "neutral". I looked at the diagrams at the bottom of the PDF and noticed that the switches are not actually a true SPDT configuration but a double acting switch that opens 2 contacts and closes 2 contacts when the switch is pressed. In France I would assume it would be best to use a DPDT switch. You would then use terminals 3 and 4 on each section for the black and white wires. I need some help from the guys who have the K150, K250, K300, K600 series amps as I have not had the opportunity to check out my newest acquisition. I'm mostly familiar with the K100, K200 series amps.

Hi Conrad,
thanks for the details.
I have replaced the power cord for a three-wire and grounded the chassis. This was because I sometimes got little electric shocks and did not feel secure with it. Now it seems to be perfect. We commonly have the network wired with ground in France, I have put a ground wire everywhere in my house so this is not a problem, but of course this is not the same everywhere !
For the moment the power switch still works, it is broken inside but I have fixed it with a nylon strip to hold it in place.
Perhaps it will break one day, and this is why I am looking for a spare. But I will keep your informations safe for the day it will happen !
I did not have the opportunity to try several Kustom amps as they are pretty rare here, but I can say that my K-150-2 is probably the best solid state amp I've ever heard. I had a Lab series L7 combo that was really good but unfortunately it was stolen, and I own an old HH IC-100 that is good too, but to me the Kustom has a lot more attractive sound, the tremolo/vibrato is fantastic and the eq section is very effective and musical, the bass controls is really powerful, it can deliver tons of bottom end, and I am experimenting to use both channels simultaneously, so the eq section is really amazing. Unfortunately I do not have the original cab, but they seem so big and heavy, I'm happy with my 2x12 Engl cab loaded with Celestion V30.

Hi guys!
I have switches that will work, they are not 100% original looking but very close.
95 % of the time you can fix your old busted switch without even picking up a soldering iron, all you need are 2 cable ties.
Call me if you want to try this repair first as my replacement switches are not cheap at 70 bucks, but I guess there cheaper then buying a donor amp!
