  1. Thanks - tells me pretty much all I need to know. Never thought about the power transformer, hanging right out there. And I will try reversing polarity on one coil, than the other, see if it quiets down more. Tennessee
  2. I recently bought an older Peavey Delta Blues, a 210 model. Unfortunately, it had the reverb tank removed. The whole amp had been refinished, rather nicely, actually, sans the tank. I decided to put in a new tank. Bought a tank, downloaded the schematics. Hoped to find the plugs up in the amp cavity, but there were just the four pins that the original plug attached to. Looking the schematic over, (I'm an electrician, not electronic tech), I decided which represented the "hot leads" and which were grounds, so to speak. Since the reverb tank is essentially a pair of small coils with springs in the middle, I thought the only problem would probably be polarity of the coils. I was right, my first attempt brought about a howling. Reversing leads made it work. But mounting the tank, I got confused. I could not find the old screw pattern, so I just mounted it in the bottom of the combo as far away from the speaker magnets as possible. There is some hum, not bad, and it works. Any guidance on where that tank actually sat in that box, and is the coil polarity a big deal? Thanks Tennessee
