...a 1960s Kustom 410. I dont know much about it, except that I know they usually came in pairs but I mean for 100 bucks I couldn't pass it up! I still haven't figured out what I'm going to do with it...still pretty cool.

I thought the same thing when I saw it, so even if it takes me a while to figure out what the hell I'm going to do with it, at least its a good conversation piece.

I've got an old Kustom 210 cab, replaced the original kustom speakers with Carvins and we are using it as a monitor on the PA.

Sweet cabinet. Not too sure I'd want to crank it too much with a bass. It was a PA speaker, not sure how well it will deal with the low frequencies.

The mind crackles and fries with possibilities. Looks like it stepped right out of 1969.

Hmmmm

Well, the cool factor for Kustom Tuck&Roll can not be denied, I would not expect great sound.

Those were PA cabs, by the way...

If you don't mind the weight of the MDF or worse, three modern woofers and a waveguide and compression driver in the top hole and some schooling in crossover design and you have a killer PA column.
