I can call myself the proud owner of a genuine 1974 Kasino Club L-2. The L stands for Lead and the 2 for 2x 12" CTS loudspeakers (silver dust cap)I suppose. The second owner (I got it from him) replaced the big filtercaps and the amp is running just fine. Optical it is in a perfect condition. According to me this amp is about the same as the mid seventies vinyl Kustom Lead II amp. At first glance I only see some difference in how the reverb pan is connected to the amp, and obvious, there is only one input per channel. The CTS speaker say 8 - 16 Ohms. A test from the speaker jack says 5.9 Ohm. It's a 4 Ohm amp, just as the Kustom Lead II. Does anyone know the circuit numbers I should refer to?

Thanks.
The baffle board is glued in. No signs that it has been replaced. Nice and clean! Besides, the two 12" CTS speakers have a similar code as the speaker that is in my Kustom Charger Bass combo: 038-0079-00 (Kasino)to 038-0024-00 (Charger), both 8 - 16 Ohm. The identification plate reads: model CLUB L - 2. Now I think the 2 stands for two speakers and then the 1973 Kasino catalogue shows a 4x 10" Club Lead combo. This is a 1974 amp, maybe Kustom made a configuration change back then. The former owner told me he bought it from a band mate that purchased this amp new in 1974/5 at the Servaes Music Shop in The Hague, The Netherlands. The mentioned 100 Watts peak power I think is just commercial promotion talk for the real 60W RMS power. I believe I found the boards: PC5033/PC5128/PC5129.
At this moment there is a Kasino 2x 12" (the guy says 2x 10") on craigslist: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/msg/2457056033.html

Well, maybe. Both cones are stamped '1252 6'. This amp is an 230V Export model. So the reconing would have been done over here in The Netherlands using an original CTS cone and dust cap, I suppose.
