Hey folks,
I have this Kustom amp and I've not worked on this particular model. this apparently is the Cadillac of the tuck & roll models for it's time.
The 2nd channel has mondo hiss with the volume control full down & the boost switch off. The boost switch off completely bypasses the tone switch stages.
I'm almost at the point of deciding that these just were 'hisssssy', as I can't find any heat/cold sensitive transistors & trying to signal trace just seems to show the signal getting amplified as you'd expect.
I have replaced a few of the transistors that were heat sensitive. They're no longer heat sensitive, but the hisssss is at the same leve..
anyway, has anyone had experience with these to know if they are just hissssy?
I think I'll take the cab home & sleep on it tonight glen
