I picked up a single Kustom 150 PA column. Still looking for the other one.
The markings on the four speakers inside reads:
Danity 16F-100A, 6 1/2" 8ohm 60w Made in Taiwan R.O.C.
Would these be the original speakers for this cabinet?
And is that an 8" speaker?, because they seem smaller.
It has the "Kustom" nameplate on the grill, with the logo offset to the left of the mounting screws and raised lines in the background. Other logo's I've seen have got a smooth background with the 'Kustom' logo centered between the two screws.
Serial #41516
The literature doesn't list anything smaller than an 8" speaker or 150 watts. But these speakers say they're 60 watts. Plus I think they are blown, they sound very crackly and high pitched.

There is not much around these days in true 8" guitar speakers.
My two picks would be the Eminence brand alpha-8a model.
These are rated at 125 watts and unfortunately with today's prices run you about 70 bucks each.
A cheaper speaker you could go with would be a Jensen model CR8 in the 8 ohm version.
These are rated at 25 watts and will cost you much less.
These do not go down as low in frequency response as the Eminence model.
The Jensen ones due to there lighter cone will break up faster then the Eminence drivers if you need that for your guitar tone.
8 ohm driver would have to be wired in series parallel for you to end up with 8 ohms on the speaker jack.

Man, you really need to make up your mind!
In one post this is for guitar, in the next it's back to being for PA useage, lol!
For PA I would go with the Eminence drivers.
And just to head you off at the pass so to speak these would work for keyboard also.
If you had really deep pockets you might turn up 4 used JBL brand drivers, and that would be the ultimate for PA usage.

You had posted that you wanted to use this column and have it set for 8 ohms did you not?
With 4 drivers the only easy way to do that is with 8 ohm drivers.
If you ever get both columns and the original 150 head then all 4 drivers in both columns need to be 16 ohms and your just not going to find 16 ohm drivers but for in original columns like these, or get Four 4 ohm Jensen drivers.
The 150 head that both speaker columns would have been needing a 8 ohm load.
Each column then being 16 ohm being put in parallel when plugged into the amp would make the 8 ohm load .
You need to make up your mind here!
