I've got a black Kustom K200B-2 with a 2x15 cab and was wondering what it's worth. It's in spectacular shape and is only missing one knob. Everything works it just needs to have the pots cleaned. I'm new to this so I'm having difficulties with pictures. Also any typical information i.e. ohms and wattage would be a great help as well.
Thanks,
James

It is all about color and condition. With pictures it would be much easier to help you. The cabinet stock was 8 ohms and the head would drive 2 cabs (4ohm total load) @ 100 watts max. The only way you will find a knob is used, they do not make them that are exact. Does it have the covers for the head and cabinet, does it have the original foot pedal? These are all things that add or take away from value. Being black, Kustom made 65% of there amps in black so they are very common and easy to find.
To post a picture it is best to get a photo bucket account and upload your pic's and then just copy and paste the link that has the ([img ) without the quotes([/img ) before and after it.

Really? I thought these were standard "Cosmo" knobs, used on Rickenbacker guitars and Moog synths. Very much still available today, and as far as I can tell, are an exact match to the old ones. The synth guys use 'em all the time.
Cosmo only sells in large quantities, but they're available on eBay and elsewhere, like here:

Or is there some subtle difference between the orignal ones and these new ones?

I use the Cosmos knobs all the time. The only real difference is that during certain periods, Kustom used a push on D shaft knob, while the Cosmos only comes with a set screw.
Small Bear Electronics still has them.

I still don't think they are exact. Radio shack has some, but they aren't exact either. those look really close but, it would have to be for a smooth shaft and use a set screw to hold it on. The D shaped ones are only for the metal faced amps.

It's like I tell everyone else, find one and because of condition and color it is still worth double of a black. And 1500.00 is a good price for a red k100??? holy crap my mint one must be worth 2K

You're right, the Radio Shack knobs are way too different. But the Cosmo knobs are smooth shaft with a setscrew. I'm not sure about the Little Bear knobs. I have a bunch of Cosmos that were part of that original order back in 2001, and I can't tell the difference from the originals.

I have never had to really look for any as I always had spares or one of my buddy's did. The Little bears look perfect, but there has to be a different part number as the one given says they are for a knurled shaft. That is a good deal on them as well. I am not sure that the Rick knobs are still the same today as they were 12 years ago, possibly made cheaper now.
I like these even better, you can match the color of your amp!
