I picked up a Kustom 200 guitar head at a garage sale today (for $20). They said it didn't work. It's black T&R with two channels. Both have norm/bright switch. The channel on the left has trem & reverb. The reverb channel seems to work good after I cleaned up the pots with some contact cleaner. The other channel gets a very faint sound. I'm thinking the volume pot is shot. I can't find any markings on it anywhere (inside or out) specifying what model it is, serial number or anything. I'm assuming it's a "B" series. It's got the plexi front and two prong cord. I'm thinking it's late `60's or very early `70's. I want to order a schematic, but don't know what model I should order it for (K200-B1, B2...B6).

What ohm output are these heads? 8 ohm?

Any idea where to find replacement power filter capacitors (4500 MFD @ 50 VDC)? It has two of these mothers. They may be good, but at nearly 40 years old, I figure the best this to do is change them out.

The garage sale also had two 2x15 cabs (Red & black). The guy wanted $150 for all three, but the cabs were in somewhat rough shape. I opened up the back on one & it had one CTS 15" & one Jensen C15L. Both were loaded the same. Too bad they didn't have JBL's. They'd be sitting in my garage, now.
