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.

QuoteDo you have an ohms meter to measure resistance?

I am about to purchase a fluke 115 , should that cover me for any testing I need to do ?

Yes I saw that on the PCB, clearly the RCA plug leads run right into the board. Wish it would be something as simple as plugging in a new part.
I did google for this part, and did not see one with the plugs and open ends to solder to the board.  I suppose that means I will have to strip
and split to make it solderable to the board.

Seems like an "overboard" solution... I'd rather just find one for sale searching my friend google of course.
I do try to find what I'm looking for, but ignorance doesn't  help with choosing the search terms that get you where you need to go.

Thanks for the suggestions,  I am hoping I'll learn something useful in the process.

Thanks very much @DrGonz78 and @phatt

I am on my way to check these first... I do hope it's confined to those rather than the PCB.

Are there any good tuts or walkthroughs around for replacing the RCA plugs?  Do you need to remove
everything up to the board? Then I would need to do some soldering, which  I'm a beginner at that too.

Greetings all...

I recently cleaned the pots on this amp, and all was working fine for a short while. Then the reverb just dropped out when I was playing.
I could hear the tank echoing then that stopped too.  I tried a different tank.. but still no luck.

I checked the RCA connectors and they look ok. Also took the amp apart and inspected the PCB and connections.
I don't see anything that looks disconnected or damaged. I don't know how to test the op amp itself.

Could I get some suggestions to isolate and possibly repair this problem??
