OT - Fender Twin Reverb Reissue Problem - Reverb and Crackle

[wavley]

I just happen to have a '65 Twin RI on my bench for repair.  It too had a reverb problem, lucky it was a broken wire going to the output transducer in the tank. But your experience gave me some education if I ever come across a similar situation..  Those things must be under a lot of stress, that or they're made crappy.. You wouldn't think they would have that much electrical stress but I'm not a wiz on reverb circuits.

I used to work in a Fender authorized service center, the broken transformer wire in the tank was a real big problem with new Fenders, especially with the blues jr.
