Title: Repair or partout?
Post by: aldo on April 07, 2009, 01:04:38 PM
I am not a pro or con SS ver. Tube,I am a 55 year old guitar playing rocker.I have more than my share of amps,both tube and ss.I have a Kustom Lead 3 with a 1978 QC label inside the chassis.The P.T. is fired in it.Its a 2 channel with voicing "mixer" for the 2 channels with master volume,130 watt.The thing weights 45 pounds for the head alone.Should I invest in a new P.T. or part the 2 pre-amp,voicing,power amp board?I wonder if anybody would be intrested in parts on the hoof?The boards would be ALOT cheaper to ship than a 45 pound head.Ant ideas or input.

I have decieded to try to restore this amp.I feel its heavey,but its a 70's Kustom,and that in itself makes it one of the new unknown classics!
