Have no idea how old they are, I have the matching K200A-5 PA head with 4 channel reverb (bass and treble) controls. It doesn't have the wattage on the front plexiglass panel (just the Kustom logo and the polarity power switch), blue power lamp lens.
serial number 21119 there's a faint 3 stamped over the first 1 so it could be a revised 23119 (updated amp?)
The speakers themselves have 4x10 inch speakers with silver dust covers (Jensen?).
The amp works great, very little hiss and just a bit of noise in the first channel volume pots when they're adjusted. A bit of cleaner should fix that right up.
I think this is an intact pre 1969 setup.
Anyone have more information? I can't find anything on Kustom BTS PA cabinets anywhere, so they must be unicorns!

Hello and welcome!
No matter how you choose to decifer the amps serial number it was born in 1968.
You will find that should you open up each cabinet that the speakers will be Alinco magnet CTS brand which are worth some bucks!, as these same basic 10" drivers where used in Fender Super Reverbs and such of the era that used 10" drivers.
These are the highly prized seamed cone , non treated surround 10" drivers.
Most k200 B-5 PA set up's came with the 4-12" driver cabinets though!
when you slid the amp out of the cabinet just give each pot a good shot of WD40 and then wing the knob fully around 20 times and you should be golden !
