I was told that Kustom used to manufacture the amps for Legend Amplification.

I have the Super Lead model but the gold caps fell off of them and am having toeubke finding replacements, if anyone has any leads in where I can get them or if someone has them swuirreked away somewhere!...
Thanks for any leads!

The last company that owned the Kustom brand name made that amp so it's by far not a vintage model.

I looked around for you at a number of sites that deal in new old stock knobs and could not find a exact match !
I think your best bet is to replace them all with the common Fender knob that looks real close, but does not have a zero on the rim unfortunately.

Thanks for looking!
The amp is from the 80's, so at this point it is vintage. These were used in ZZ Top's Eliminator. Which came out in 1984.
Unfortunately, I need an exact match, or new gold caps. :/

Just for clarification sake we here on this site enjoy most any amp with the Kustom name badge on it and will help out in the repair of such if we can, but in terms of us here calling it pure vintage it would need to be made no mater then 1978, or when the Baldwin Organ company still owned the rights to the original Kustom name.

In fact many stalwart's here will not conceder any amp a vintage Kustom if it did not come from the era when they where made with tuck & roll!

Your amp being made in 1980 does though make it a antique since it's over 25 years old.
