Greetings. Saw a K200A- ? ia a local pawn shop for $99.00. I pet it on the tuck and roll Smooth black vinyl and it followed me home. I say Smudge because the model number is smudged and I can't make out the last character. I've been reading this excellent forum for 3 days now and I'm guessing it's a K200A-4 because it has Reverb, Trem/Vibe, Selective Boost and Harmonic clipper. Says "By Ross" Serial number 21269 that puts it around Jan - June 1968 when I was 9 years old. Thanks again forum info! I've repaired / matained my own collection on vintage Transistor amps including a VOX Westminister, Acoustic 150 combo and Peavy Musician 400. This is my first Kustom and it rocks!! No foot switch so I had to alligator clip the pins on the cannon jack on back (Thanks again) to check out the effects and she is fully functional. I opened it up to blow the dust out and give it a good look. What a well built box! Doesn't look like there have been any mods or repairs. I did discover to my horror that the single fuse by the power switch had been wrapped with tin foil. It was a 3A (Blown) and I put in a 5A closed it back up Jacked it to a 4X12 Celestion Cab and wailed away till the wee hours. To much fun.  Sorry I'll get to the point.
I saw a disscussion about Knobs back in 2000 and 2001 and I need 4 to bring her face back to beautiful. Any one still have these for sale? (Please)
I guessed at the fuse size what should the real rating be?
I See Scematics for the K200B for sale but the Power Amp section is different? Right? Where can I get a schematic for the K200A-4?Or would I be able to make do with the B schem? There is a little switching noise then the Trem/Vibe is turned up. Pops at the peak of the ramp, probably a cap making it nonliniear or something.
I'm getting the parts to make a foot switch mod (the switch not the head) but if Any one has a line on a original..... I'm willin
Thanx, Paul
Have more guitars than talent.
