I also have a vintage 1966 kustom c895 "frankenstein head" on my hands and it needs repairs and it currently does not work. Its two stacks and a head, I'm not sure whether to get it repaired or sell it. Can anyone give me information regarding how much is it worth and should it be fixed or thrown away.

The stacks also say "product of cooper piano and organ" in the bottom right corner and I'm struggling to find any information on that company

Bto..... The tags may refer to the music dealer that sold and or may have had that rig in their rental inventory.

Also most Kustom speaker cabs have the speaker ID on the diamond shaped input jack plate.

Do NOT trash that rig. My guess is that like Sunn Coliseum amps, the Kustom amps used really low cost (3054 I believe) output transistors. Really cheap to replace. The amps are built like tanks. My K-200 PA system is still going strong after 50 years with no service what so ever. The black Kustom PA rig goes well with the Surge! backline of Fender amps as well as the over 50 Surge boys.

Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps?
