I am selling two vintage sparkle blue vinyl "tuck and roll" Kustom speaker cabs.

Lots of pictures here: imgur.com/a/O28pL

(the forum won't let me post an actual link just copy an paste the url)

They are HUGE (24"x12"x64") and in near perfect condition. The corners have minor wear from being loaded / unloaded (I included a couple pictures but it's hard to photograph). One of the 4 handles is missing the plastic part (see picture), but is still totally functional.

The front plate says "Kustom By Ross Inc" and the input jack says "Jensen" (they have one 1/4" input jack). I opened the cabs, but there isn't any text on the speakers so I don't know much more about the actual stats (I have no idea about the wattage or impedance).

I got these about 7 years ago and used them as PA speakers for band practice for a year or so. They're a bit bass-y but sounded great overall. I pulled them out 3 years ago for a friend that needed a PA for a bar show. I had them hooked up to a 1000w power amp and had it up about half way and they sounded loud and great. I don't have an amp and they haven't been used since then.

I haven't been able to find any information anywhere. I think they are pretty rare. From what I read these (without the port holes) are the older (late 60s version). I don't know much more. I don't know what they're actually worth. If you know more than me feel free to let me know.

These are located in the south suburbs of Chicago. I currently live in Seattle and am in town for 5 more days. I'd like to get these out of my parent's basement and sell them to someone that can put them to good use, but if I don't get a decent offer before I leave they'll continue to collect dust.

I don't have an amp so I have no way for you to try them. If you bring an amp and a 1/4" cable you can feel free to crank them (I'd love to hear them one last time).

I'll consider any reasonable offer. I don't want to split the pair so you must take both.

If you live in or near Chicago I could bring them to you. If you live farther I'd be happy to ship them, but you'd have to cover the shipping cost and I imagine it'd be really expensive because these are huge and really heavy.

Couldn't access the site with pictures on it. Sounds like the cabinet was a guitar since there were no bass ports on it and original speakers were Jensen's. Are the dust caps aluminum or black? Magnets on back of speakers square? If square, they could be old vintage Jensen's or CTS. I'm thinking those speakers...what ever they are......were 16 ohms each and rated at 150 to 200 watts each. 1000 watt amp head would really be giving these speakers a work out. You never mentioned what you were wanting for them.

Happy Holidays: New to the site and noticed your old advertisement. I live on the South West (Frankfort, IL area). Are these two speaker bottoms still for sale? If so, what is your rock bottom price and do you have any pictures. Could you also rate from 1 to 10 (10 being like new) the condition. thank you for your feedback.
