Hey gang, glad to have found this place. You got to love the internet for us guitar people.
Anyway, a guy at work has a mint Kustom K100 with matching cab that he bought from the original owner in 1970 or so. Its in the cascade blue( I think thats what cha call it). It hasnt left his basement in 30 years and looks brand new. He says he would sell it to me.
Thing is, I never would have even thought about buying a Kustom. It sure brings back memories, but I really know nothing about them.
He let me bring it home to try out. I have a few questions.

1- Is a K100 really 100 watts? I have read some place that it is really around 60 watts?

2- the speaker cable looks like it is from the 50's! Do I trust that it is a speaker cable or should I go buy a new one to ensure I dont screw it up. He says its the one he used.

3- what is this amp worth? What would you be willing to pay?

4-Why should I buy it, besides the fact it looks cool as can be? I am not currently gigging. I play mainly clean blues tones and modern worship stuff, so I would consider using it with a Line 6 Pod to practice.

Thanks again for the info and for all the information I have already gathered on these pages.
