My Kustom 200 amp makes a thump - thump - thump noise and sends a blast of air from the front each time strong enough to blow out a candle. Can anyone offer a solution to this problem? It seems like a capacitor discharging improperly.
Thanks,
Chas Bones

Chas,
Most likely, you've got one or more bad electrolytic capacitors in the power supply. After twenty years or more of service, it's a great idea to replace all large caps (WATCH OUT FOR THE POLARITY!). If you're not a tech, have it done - this will prevent max smoke or explosion.
