Found in Kansas - Weird tuck'n'roll 4x10 cabs, gtr not PA silver - ???- [message #2105] Mon, 04 November 2002 22:01 Go to next message

Hi - A friend in southeast Kansas very near Chanute came up with two 4x10 cabs, NOT PA cabs - these are 24" square x 16" deep, and never got finished - they are silver sparkle tuck and roll, bottom hasn't been covered, no grille, has speaker holes but no holes for speaker screws, no back panels. They were bought at an estate auction along with two Kustom guitar necks that never got finished either (those will be hitting Ebay soon). Will have pix of the cabs in a day or two. They would need work to complete, but are interesting rarities, as far as I know nothing like this ever went into production. Would also make great end tables. Any info would be helpful, and anyone seriously interested in them can email me for more info; I am going to a guitar show in 11/17 and will probably drag them along if I haven't made any other arrangements. Would probably have to ship UPS Oversize II, or pickup would be fine (two hours west of Kansas City). Thanks!

Sound like some one was funneling unused proto parts out the back door of kustom at one time!

sounds like they might be the hi freq cabs?...would have to get my ruler out to check the dimensions...but it would make sense , since the hi freq cab was baffled for 10inch siren horns..or in my case..10" speakers..makes a heck of guitar cab..bout the size of the old Gibson 2x10 piggy back rigs... I would guess that's what you've got...easy enough to mount the speaker bolts, and grill her up...add a backpanel and a couple eminence10s..the bottoms would be a challenge as the zodia would be hard to match up...but worth a try...look at the lit section of the sight..the 2nd year catalog has the high freq cab..see if this is what you've got...they are rare to come by...ET

ET, These are 24" square and cut for 4-10's; could they be semifinished Krossroad 500 cabinets without badging ? Dan ---Owner, VintageKustom.com

sorry..I went back n read more closely.. i thought he said 24x16..which is close to the hi freq cabs...aross n back...anywho...yeah.. i'd almost bet that's what he's looking at...Krossroads made a 4x10 cab the same dimensions as the 1x15..it was part of the 500 stack...a 1x15 on the bottom, then the 2x10 or 4x10 and the 500 head..a triple piece rig....if i could see pics i'd know..neat to have..specially if hemeans "white" when he says silver..ie zodiac silver, not charcoal...be advised, krossroads used goodyear fabric..a bit different from uniroyal zodiac..close enough though and you'd be able to get a closer match to finish the cabs..also likely...what are the dimensions on the new kustom 4x10 cabs?..don't know what they'd be doing all the way down in kansas since it was a china to Ohio shipment.. I don't know of any of the rigs that were built stateside...fun huh...ET
