"In the beginning, Bud created the K200. It was typically matched up to a 2x15 cabinet or larger.
The 2x12 cabinet and the K100 came much later."

You won't see 2x12 Kustom cabinets until February 1968, when the Kustom 100 came out.

The Kustom 2x12 cabinet in the link below is from late 1964 or early 1965.
They were not making 2x12's yet, so it is probably a preproduction prototype. It is white with silver sparkles, has no port tubes, and has the briefcase style handles that only came on the earliest Kustoms. Other info in this speaker: 34H x 21W(10 pleats) x 12 1/2 D , 65 lbs, original silver gray Jensen speakers, numbers on both speakers: #220443 EM1200 C7729

Kustom smallest cab was a 2x15 in 1966 and 1967. I believe that 2x12 cabinets were not available at all until 1968.

This could be as rare/one-of-a-kind as a Frankenstein combo (just kidding).
