Thanks for your reply. I had to have one of the speakers replaced when having some rehab work done on it last fall. I had originally planned on gigging with it. However the cab weighs a good 75 lbs., maybe more and the thought of moving that from house to vehicle, from vehicle to stage, and then back again didn't appeal at all to me after the trip to and from the repair shop.

Growing older is mandatory. Growing up however, is optional

Very Kool amp!
I don't know what speakers you have in there, but you could replace them with a set of neos to lighten the load. Maybe Les Strickland will chime in here as he is the master of cabinet lightening.
The original serial number label was a paper tag, that often dried up and fell off.
Pleat, what was the story about the added component/choke that you mentioned?

Is that destructive? If not, then it wouldn't bother me at all.

You can make one of these very easy, and its not a choke, its a inductor, and by adding a low resistace in parallel with the inductor you will help to stabize the amp even more.
The parts needed are a 2 ohm 10 watt metal oxide resistor and some #18 gauge enameled wire.
Wrap 40 turns of the wire around the body of the 10 watt resistor and then parallel wire them.
Then solder them in serise with the hot lead going to the amps speaker jack(s).
This up grade can be added to any era solid state Kustom amp, and on the amps that have speaker fuses and or circuit breakers you can add a 1.5 uf 50 volt mylar cap across the breaker or fuse to cut back on the degradation of high frequency responce due to thermal modulation of these two items.
