I have a couple of reissues, a Deluxe and a Twin. the reverbs in these have always been finicky, but I could always get them back up and running. Either a send or recovery tube, a footswitch problem, broken wires in the tank, etc. (I have never had a bad reverb choke). Tonight I was chasing a no reverb problem without much success. I had the tank out in my hand and I noticed the mini molex connectors to the transducers. In the old Accutronics pans these connections are soldered. I touched one of these connectors and the reverb started working, so I sprayed and reseated them. Reverb back. I know this is not rocket surgery but it may save someone with the same problem some grief.

Sorry Tim, but I had to double check to see if my memory was that bad. I went and pulled out seven old Accutronics tanks, all of which I bought new or pulled from amps I owned and didn't solder these connections.
Only one had the mini molex connectors. The rest had soldered connections. I even have one newer Fender short three spring unit with soldered connections. I have an identical one with the molex connctors.
