Hello all, I have a Kustom amp in my shop for repairs and I'm hoping to get a little more information on it.

It seems to be a Kustom III lead amp, model III-L, serial no. K-117186. What makes it strange is the 15" speaker. All I can find online is the 212. nothing with a 15". The circuit boards are PC5129 rev3 and PC5128 rev2.

Really the main question is how much could this amp be worth? I know there isn't much of a market for the non-tuck and roll kustoms. The client is hoping to sell, but they're looking at around $150 in repairs, including a budget replacement speaker (the stock is totally blown). It Might be better to just sell it for parts.

I would add pics but apparently I need to post more. there is a imgur gallery on my profile Drjones1106. post titled "Kustom 3 lead amp 115combo"

Any information or advice would be every appreciated, thanks to this awesome community.

Welcome!
I only have time for a short reply here today , but I am sure others here will help you.

It sounds to me like some took the lead III head and slipped it in the Bass cabinet and where using it for Bass since the Bass head and the lead head are built on the same size chassis.
