I have a Kustom Charger (200-0216-00)amp which I plan to use for live shows (indie rock). It has the double polarity switch in the back, and states "200W". Model # 28-B. Anyone know a reputable repair shop in the Baltimore area that can restore this amp? It seems to "clip" out or sound "farty" when its cranked up and I assume the 15" speaker is original and would need replaced. There are lots of humming from the amp which I assume would be old electronics that need replaced (leaky caps, ect.)....

Any info or help with repairing this amp much apreciated. It simply looks too cool to be in an attic or basement....

Regards

Check out music stores that do repairs, these where not hard to repair and you can get schematics from this site if the tech who works on it needs them.

thanks will do, will call the repair shop at Atomic Music in College Park. Also, I just purchased the schematics. Hopefully can get this baby sounding good again!
