Hey
I have replace the 2 prong power cord with a 3 prong power cord and noticed a cap that reads 0.22 uF/ 150 VAC
which is soldered to the middle leg of the switch with 1 lead and the other lead is grounded to a screw post on the back of the amp....
I'm using that ground post for my green wire now was wondering is that the " Death Cap" and should it be cut
out of the switch area...??
I have not turned it on yet while waiting for another part ...
This is a Kustom 50-2 amplifier...
Thanks

Just cut it out completely.

Is this the amp you need the volume intensity pot for?

Yes it is ... It's for the Vib/ Tremelo though...I have a pot coming in which I might be able to remove the shaft to replace in mine...

The shaft is broken on the pot...I took it apart and the shaft is missing completely and the rear of the pot is in broken plastic pieces ...This must have fallen over sometime ago ( I got it from someone) I'm waiting on a pot that looks just like it and will replace the front of the pot with the shaft
Thanks
