Re: spring reverb repair/ mod

If the springs are disconnected from the transducers, it's toast. I have repaired the little hangers that go into the transducers, but they never quite sound the same. Just get a new one---AES has a pretty wide variety, and last I remember, they ran about 25 bucks, 3-spring might be a bit more (?). As far as turning it into a standalone reverb, you need a power supply and a few other odds and ends. It will cost way more than it's worth and requires a bit of skill...just toss the old one and don't look back.

You can get a replacement tank from Mojo.....maybe $30.00 or so.

Take the code off of the old one, order the direct replacement & install it.

Not too tough at all.

I replaced one in a Fender Reverb Tank & it was pretty much a piece of cake
