Pleat will tell you that this stuff was built to last........plywood cabinets instead of particle board like some were made, and the amp heads to me look almost like they were of military grade quality. The guy definitely knew what he was doing when he designed these units.

As to your PA columns, they were designed for vocal like all of the Kustom PA speaker cabinets. You wouldn't want to be running a mixer through them and running a bass guitar through the PA like you can do with todays PA's. I know of guys who use them for guitar with no problems, but a bass or probably even a keyboard might do some serious damage especially if they are the original speakers. Cabinets aren't designed either to handle the low frequencies either I believe. Pleat has all the info on this and maybe will chime in.

I'm willing to bet if you take care of your equipment, it will be around another 45 years......not that most of us will be. Smile
