This is the same guy who is selling the 1959 Rick 4000 for $40K or best offer.
Wowzer.

YES I SURE DO!
WOW, what a picture!
I miss my black 200w head with two 18' bottom.
WHAT A FREAKING MONTSTER it was.
It was MINT and I GAVE IT AWAY for FREE whem I moved into my first apartment.
It was HUGE, HEAVY and it BROKE BONES for blocks around!

A friend of mine here in Cleveburg has a very large collection of vintage Kustom gear stored in a warehouse.

Re: Do you like 60s Kustom Amps?
I used to think they were sooo tacky. Now I think they are overkill-cool, but don't crave one yet. I've heard bands with a Kustom backline in the past, and they were LOUD...
But the Kustom organs? Those are definitely WEIRD, man...
The flyer above says" all in one easy-to-carry package"...the Kombo II weighed over 200 pounds.

Paul, that Kustom Kombo II looks like it belongs on the deck of the Enterprise.
I used to use a Kustom 100 head - sounded great with the Fender Bassman 2 x 15 cab I had.

Re: Do you like 60s Kustom Amps?
There is a local vintage store that usually has a few Kustoms in stock.

Re: Do you like 60s Kustom Amps?
Kool! I just took my Kustom 200 combo in for repairs today. The tech said he sees 'em all the time. And they're still out there actively giggin'. I have one that was made in Chanute, KS. I can hardly wait to plug my Rick into it.
Re: Do you like 60s Kustom Amps?
I dig mine, and Jim, I think you are really gonna dig your Rick 12 through yours when you get it. 
Re: Do you like 60s Kustom Amps?
The Kustom comes out of the shop on Monday. Hurray!

Fogerty has been quoted as saying he stopped using that amp about ten years ago.

Re: Do you like 60s Kustom Amps?
Yes, we do like 60's Kustom Amps.
We have a 150 from around 1965. We think it has 2/10's. If anybody know differently, please tell us. We just plugged in our 360/12, with the Janglebox, put on some fast vibrato, and played some Hollies songs. Sounded pretty good.
