So.. to update... much ado about nothing seemingly...
I left the amp disassembled for a while, then decided to just put it back together until I got a multimeter..
then put the new reverb tank back in, which did not work previously. I flipped on the power..and boom! reverb again... go figure :duh
I'm wondering if I could have caused some kind of charge build up that interfered with some circuits? The RCA plugs were very clean
and did not show any wear or damage, and sure enough when I plugged them in this time.. bingo...
thanks again @DrGonz78 and @Phatt
I am including a little expanded schematic directly from Fender.
