The stereo / mono switch runs the signal of either channel into both of the amps two output stages when in the mono setting, in stereo the right hand channel gets fed to the amps right side power amp, and the left channel goes the other way.
In those days, yes a Y cord was used to run one instrument into both channels, to day you could do the same, or use a A/B type box that is common today.
If it came with JBL D130 drivers than it was not sold as a bass set up, but if you if you still had four of those drivers you could certainly play bass through It at less than loud volumes with no ill. Effects.
Amp circuit wise It makes no difference to the electronics!
I have never seen owners Manuel's on ebay, or anywhere, but I do have them for the K100-1 and -2 non. Combo heads.
Weber speakers makes a driver to replace those 130s, and if you even find blown up D or K model JBL.s on ebay or what not, you can get them reconed into the D130 models, but you will still be spending when all is said and done some 180 per driver!
The Eminence commonwealth driver with its 4" aluminum voice coil cover and 172 buck price tag is the 130s off the shelf replacement, another way you could go would be to get the Jensen Alinco magnet 15 incher and then from weber get a 4 inch aluminum voice coil cover.
With these you can cut off the stock cover and than super glue on the 4 inch cover and get the D130s look and close to the tone for way less of the green from your wallet,
