I have a Kustom k200-A Head with a 2x15 cabinet.

The head is a little noisy when amp is on (it gets hidden once I start playing)

Is this fixable or is that just how these old Kustoms are?

Thanks

Hello.
All vintage Kustom heads develope noisy transistors in the preamp stage, and the A serise and earlyer heads have many caps in the preamp sections that go bad and or change a great deal in value due to age.
A repair tech should have no problem fixing the amp other than the fact that the A serise amps equiped with all the effects is a pain to work on with its stacked circuit boards.
