A Kustom cabinet from the K200A era would typically have aluminum ports attached with three screws, correct?
The chrome plastic ports would be found on the later K200B speaker cabinets?

Thanks again! I restored a ragged 1969 kustom 2-15 (CTS) cab. I bought it from a local musician. It was a shell...filthy, no plates or rollers, missing a handle and the remaining one bent from being dragged, there were no ports and the speakers were only frames, no cones at all! It became a labor of love and a great project. I now have her fully restored and beautiful! I used the plastic chrome ports. I bought a K-250 head to go with her.. And now I have another old cab, a charcoal 2-15 Ross (excellent condition) (unloaded) with the full cloth face..no ports. I recently bought a K200-5 to go with it....Any suggestions on what drivers to use would be appreciated.

I didn't notice in the posts if you are playing bass, guitar, or keyboards. Regardless of instrument, your K250 head wants to drive one 4 ohm load cabinet for the 125 watt RMS output. (one speaker jack out)
Your K200-5 amp head can drive two 8 ohm speaker cabinets (two Speaker Jack outs) for a 4 ohm total load cabinet for 100 watt RMS output.
If you plan just using one 2x15 speaker cabinet to each amp head, then you can order 8 ohm speakers. Wire the speakers in parallel, and each cabinet will give you 4 ohms per cabinet.
Doing this, you limit one speaker cabinet per amp head, but you get max output from each amp head.
if you bought 16 ohms speakers for both speaker cabinets and each speaker is wired in parallel, each cabinet is 8 ohm load cabinet. This gives you options to use both cabinets on the K200 amp for the 100 watts. The K250 head will suffer a little less in power output running just one 8 ohm cabinet, but if you add a second speaker jack to the K250 head, you can safely run the two 8 ohm cabinets for the max 125 watts.
