This is a 50-year-old functional Kustom 250 amplifier in outstanding condition. The electronics could use a good cleaning (scratchy pots and jacks), but both channels are functioning—input volume, tone controls, bright switch....all of it! I noticed that with the volume all the way down I could still hear a little bit of volume from the amp when testing with an iPhone—-I’m sure that would be much more minimal with a passive bass guitar. Other observations: The power light is not working (probably a bulb?) but the switch functions. The polarity light works, but the switch is not returning correctly when I pressed it (the spring inside the switch). Both of those things don’t really affect the functionality of the amp, but sure could be fixed. Looks like it’s missing two bolts underneath that mount the chassis to the cabinet. (Those should be standard and simple enough to find.) There’s one small cigarette burn on the top of the vinyl cabinet. Other than that, the tuck-and-roll cabinet is in really nice shape. This thing has it’s original two-prong cord and it’s original amp cover! I’ve tried to describe all the “faults” of the amp and Amp is sold As-Is with no returns. If you’re looking for one of these, this is one of nicest ones I’ve seen.
