Reverb Tank input jack

supertwangreverb - 04 Sep 2004 10:10:16

Everyonce in awhile more than often now my tank loses some of it's
reverb power. I've found each time that it's in the input jack, and
what I do is bend the two pieces of metal on that jack back a bit and
then it works again. It's getting to the point where I think it's
time for a new jack. It looks like a fairly simple job to replace,
however that jack differs from the output jack and pedal jack. What
type of jack is the input jack exactly and are they easy to obtain?
Thanks,
Bill

Bill, the grid leak resistor attached to your input jack is 1-
megohm, 1/2 watt, same as any Fender amp.
