Newbie here, just found website. I've got a K200/A2 with matching speaker cabinet. It's a gold sparkle T/R in excellent condition. The cab has the original 4x10's and I've got the foot switch. I've had this for 10+ years and its been all over with me. I was wondering if anybody had any info or thoughts about it. I also was curious about its value, not thats its for sale.
Thanks alot.

Hi,
The K200A-2 is 100 watts at 4 ohms. It was made from about Nov 1967 to June 1968, at which time Kustom came out with the B models (example K200B-2).
As far as value, the main thing is the condition of the tuck & roll (cuts, fading, discoloration, etc.) and the condition of the amp - does everything work, etc.
The 4x10 cabinet is less common than the 2x15. What speakers are in it? Do they have aluminum speaker caps? What does the jack-plate say? -JBL, CTS, Jensen, etc.
Can you post a picture?
There is a lot of info on this site - see the Literature section, also search for "K200A" or "K200A-2".
-Les S

The search function is working for me today - I just tried it.
It works for words - it does not work for numbers.
It is 100 watts at 4 ohms, so when used with an 8 ohm cab, it will put out about 60 watts.
It was sold with different cabs - 2x15, 4x10, 3x12, 3x15, etc.
You can use it with a 2x12 - but Kustom's is not as wide so it won't match up exactly.
Basically it will work with most any 4 ohm or 8 ohm cabinet.

The RCA jack on the rear of a Kustom amp is a record output as the factory intended it. It can drive another amp just fine but it does not even output zero DB (or .775 volts) so if you use it to drive the input of a power amp many of them thses days need more than even zero DB to drive to full wattge, they need +1.4 DB, or twice that .775 voltage of a zero DB drive level!
