New to this site, hopefully I'm posting this in the right area. I have a gold tuck and roll 2-15 cabinet. Kustom Electronics emblem, not Kustom by Ross. The speaker jack plate says CTS. The speakers are Diaphonic, part# ES-0017, made by Jordan Electronocs. Wondering if Kustom ever used these speakers, or were they replaced by previous owner. I've never heard of this brand, and always thought most cabinets used either CTS or Jensen speakers.
Also, did Kustom use any sealant on the cabinet backs ? This one has a sticky black sealer, almost like a gasket sealer. I had to pry the back off. My other cabinets only have s felt or thin rubber gasket.

Your cabinet originally had CTS speakers in it when it left the factory. That's why you have a CTS speaker jack plate.
The Diaphonic speakers that are in there now were added at some later date by a previous owner. They came out of an amp made by Jordan Electronics. The same people that sold the BossTone fuzz.
I'm sure that Jordan did not actually manufacture the speakers, so you may find some code numbers on them that will let you know what OEM company did make them.

Welcome to the site. Many of us refer to that sticky goo you mentioned as the black death. It is all but impossible to get it off the cabinets. I have scraped, used goof off, paint thinner every thing short of a blow torch to remove it. I finally gave up and scraped it off as much as possible and then painted over it with oil based black paint. I then resealed the cabinets with felt and not rubberized foam so the next guy 40 years from now won't have that gooey mess to deal with.

Yeah I saw it also, the cat peed yellow.....formerly silver head. There's also a Frank head, not working on there as well, but its now gone. Not much for vintage equipment on there now and what is there is way over priced. You'd think after reposting and reposting that they'd get the hint that they're asking too much.
