Kustom Defender V50 - Smoke!

Kustom-Amp-Amplifer-Tube-Repair

At one point Musicians Friend was practically giving these away. Knowing that it wasn't worth much, and that it was a step away from being on fire, I would normally suggest that it was time to go amp shopping. But this guy loved his amp and love conquers all, right? As it turns out, the majority of the components inside are repurposed from Kustom's more expensive 'Coupe series. So, worth saving after all! Rebuilt the crispy high voltage supply, replaced the burnt, cheap (also wrong!) stock tubes, and life was restored.
