Al, welcome to the board.
Your model 200B-1 amp was designed for use with any instrument such as guitar or bass or keyboard. Because it does not have any effects built in, most people used the model-1 amps for bass. Model-2, 3 and 4 amps have reverb, vibrato, selectone, etc. built in, and are more commonly used by guitar and keyboard players.
The model-5 was the official PA version of the 200B series. It has four separate channels with one input per channel and built-in reverb. As Steve noted, the input jacks are marked 1-4.
Based upon the serial number, your amp was manufactured in early 1970 (thanks, Les!).
Something else to pay attention to, is the speaker cabinet. When you finally pick it up, you'll be able to find out if it has 12" or 15" speakers, how many of each, and what brand they are. Kustom amps were available with many different speaker combinations, some common and some very rare and desireable!
Bill

Those are kustoms standard bass speakers, but they work fine for guitar and can be plenty brite on top of guitar with the brite switch on. Infact I find my CTS guitar 10"er with the aluminum voice coil covers to be a little spikey up top at times. The 15s have great mids for guitar and sound good for bass.
