I've fired up my Kustom Model J595RV Serial 118823 (not sure on the year, but I thought it was an early 70s model). It is a cascade model (head and cab)l, I bought it at a yard sale in the mid 80s, people practically gave it to me, so they would not have to lug back down their cellar. I believe it is a K200, after being in the closet for 20+ years. I get loud hum, no sound on main channel (channel with reverb and Vibrao), do get audio out of 2nd channel. I'm in Boston area, and will probably take to a shop, but I have done a lot of soldering in my day. Just wondering if any tips or things to look at, or worth opening up before I take it in.

Thanks,

Bob W (B-Dubs)
