Heres a question, When did the first Kustom 4-10 cabinet came to be?
The reason I as is last night I opened the new issue of vintage guitar magazine and one of the article is about some fellow and his amp collection,( sorry forgot his name)and he has a good bunch of kustoms mostly combo types, but he has one 4-10 cabinet which loks to be the right size( about the size of the 2-15 cab) but it has no port tubes, it has ports like a early cab but no tubes.
In fact when I looked closer at the photo it looked like the baffle hole lip around some of the speakers was showing wood, as in very little black paint.
I have never seen a 68 4-10 cab as this k200 amp set was said to be with no tubes.
What say you all?

I have a 4x10 like what you are talking about. I was biddig on an aluminum faced K200A-4 on eBay (didn't win it ) and saw this empty cabinet in the background that the head went with. The seller said in the auction that the cabinet wasn't for sale because it was too big to ship. I begged and got 'em to sell the thing.
It has a sealed back with 3" ports (no tubes). It originally came with JBLs. It has the "A" model style badge and the older style speaker jack plate. Interesting side note.... I noticed in the seller's history that he had sold the D110Fs that came with in this cabinet. They each were 8 ohm speakers. Upon opening the cabinet, the original wiring was still intact. Kustom had wired all four speakers in PARALLEL. This meant a 2-ohm load. I ended doing the top set and bottm set each in series and brought them together parallel to get a proper 8-ohm load.
