I just Acquired a Kustom Tuck and Roll K100 8 Combo
It Powers on and some guitar sound does come out of it on the Left Channel, The right channel has no sound.
Amp is kind of loud when turning it on and has some feedback.
I want to repair this amp as its in very good condition.
I need to know where to start I know NOTHING about vintage Amps but I really want to save this amp just because of its history and looks.
I have High Quality images of the boards inside but the Insert Image icon is not working for me Thanks

From what I could see in the one photo that I looked at, there has been some work done to the amp. The photo service that you use locked up my browser, so I can't try looking again until I get home tonight.
It's pretty obvious that somebody cut the wires to stop the amp from humming. So you will need to test each of the separate sections of the amp and find out what is working and what isn't.
What electronic skills do you have? What test equipment do you have available?

Went ahead and changed a few things now the right channel is loud almost normal sounding and much louder than before Don Thompson pointed out some parts that were replaced that were wrong parts So I changed one of the Transistors that was Wrong with one that works much better, and removed some kind of wonky thing that was not even supposed to be there in the first place fixed something.
The real problem im having now is the left channel is low and dirty, and when I touch the Treble on the Preamp which is I believe Pc1400 Board it makes a REally loud HUM REALLY LOUD until I stop touching it that is weird and freaks me out any suggestions?
Also if any of you techs has a facebook I could talk to you on there and provide instant pics and video of what the amp is doing in real time Thank You Very Much for any help at all
