Bill:
It does seem a bit odd that you would get some type of sound with the output
jack pulled out a bit - maybe a loose connection for that jack? I would
take a look at the connections on both jacks (input and output), as well as
the connections for the reverb foot switch (double check your foot switch as
well, to make sure it's o.k.)
The RCA cords are the ones that go from the reverb pan to the chassis - in
the reissues, they are generally have white and red ends and brown wire.
The older tanks have silver tips and silver braided cables.
When you get home, check all of the solder connections to make sure none
have worked themselves loose (a possibility if you have an older tank).
Good luck - let us know how you make out!
-Dick
