B52 AT-100 Head problems

I know, I know. These heads are prone to issues BUT when working, it does sound pretty darn good! This isn't my main amp, in fact, it rarely gets used but since I have it laying around with some obvious issues, I figured I would tear into it and tinker some.

The issue I have is that it will power on, tubes glow and everything but I get absolutely no sound output. From any channel.

I noticed the resistor at R137 is fried and actually de-soldered from the board! After looking on the interwebs, I found that is a common problem, and is usually due to a reverb transformer malfunction. I RARELY if never use reverb, so I was curious if I can just unhook or bypass the whole reverb system.

Thanks in advance for any input or suggestions!
