I just wanna know the year it was made and some
more info on it really and if it’s worth any money at that point and I don’t know where else to look. It has a black cab with 2 15 inch speakers not sure what they are but they don’t have the cones in the grill like other Kustom cabs i’ve seen and the serial number is 26142 and i can’t find anything the Head paired with it when i bought it was a Kustom K200-B2 and into where just left by a tenant who had just fled and didn’t pay his rent.

According to the serial number chart ( https://www.vintagekustom.com/FUDforum/index.php?t=msg&t h=2115&start=0&rid=0&S=d94610812b978b13dc3f81665 99cc424) Your amp was made during the first half of 1968.

The K200B-2 has reverb and tremolo in the first channel. Your speaker cab may be loaded with Jensen, CTS, Altec or JBL speakers. Usually the jack plate on the speaker cab will indicate which one it had. That may or may not still be the case. You may be able to see the aluminum dust dome from the front of the cab - Jensen speakers will have a small black circle in the center of the dome. CTS will have a black cloth dome, so you wouldn't normally notice that from the front. The Altec speakers have a solid aluminum dome, and so do JBLs, although the JBLs are larger (hard to tell if you don't have both in front of you. The only way to tell for certain is to pull the back off and look. They type of speaker may affect the value. Altec and JBL speakers are worth the most, Jensens are worth a good bit too, CTS not so much.

The value will depend on the cosmetic and functional condition - are there any/many rips or tears on the naugahyde? Are the handles and casters intact and working? Do you have the ability to hook it up to a guitar or keyboard or something to verify that it all works correctly?

Do you live anywhere near Atlanta? I've been looking for a black 2x15 cabinet myself.
