I just recapped my K200 B 1 and thought I would replace the power cord. Connected black to black white to white and the green to the chassis side of the cap on the switch. When I turned it on the fuse blew! I am thinking a bad cap? Any suggestions would be most appreciated! It did work great before I put the new cord on.

I am having the same problem. Every time i turn it on i blow a new fuse. Does anyone know what kind of fuses the Kustom Tuck and Pull Bass Amp 1-15AB SC - 150 Watts uses? Thanks, Mat

I just connect the green to ground - to a screw in the back of the chassis. On mine, no connections on the switch seem to be grounded.

Up date, I went ahead and rewired the switch since the capacitor is no longer needed. Put a single pole 3 way jumpered so the amp will come on from either postion. connected the incoming neutral directly to the PT neutral. Bottom line it works great! it even seems to be a bit quieter. If any one needs specifics let me know and I will send you detailed info.
