These amps have Molex connectors for the reverb spring units. Can someone tell me the pin configurations, which ones are grounds, which is "IN" and which is "OUT"? Any help would be appreciated.

If you are looking at the component side of the Special 130 circuit board, from the left the first female pin is the send, the second male pin is ground for the send, the third female pin is return and the fourth is ground for the return.

I don't have a layout of the Artist circuit board as that was prior to layout diagrams back in the '70's nor do I have an amp circuit board to look at, but there is an easy way to find out what is the send and what is the return. Simply remove the reverb tank from the vinyl bag and read what is stamped into the metal tank at the RCA connectors. Follow what wire goes to what pin on the circuit board. Hint; You can disconnect the send wire, bump the tank while the amp is on and if you hear the springs crash, you'll know that the other wires are your return wires.

Hope that this helps.
