Where does the reverb spring connect to the amp?
Apologies in advance as this is probably a stupid question, but where does the reverb spring plug into the amp itself?
I have had this 1975 410 Sixty Five since around 2003 (inherited from my grandfather) and have used it very rarely. Every time I warm it up and play through it I am amazed that it still works after all these decades! The wire with 2 connectors coming from the reverb spring has been coiled up in the bottom of the amp cabinet ever since I received it and I have no idea where to plug that it in. Photo attached for reference (note that I removed the reverb spring just to wipe it, and the lower part of the interior cabinet, down a bit due to dust buildup). I have been hesitant to remove the chassis and look around due to the age of this beauty but any info anyone can provide would be GREATLY appreciated.

Success!
Just to close the loop on this, I plugged the reverb spring into the RCA jacks (of course had them reversed initially) and tested it today. I'm pleased to say that the reverb works flawlessly, including with the foot switch. I am just stunned. When I received this amp 20+ years ago the reverb spring was unplugged and this is the first time I attempted to use it. These amps are built like tanks!
Thanks again Mike!

There are two RCA phono jacks
There are two RCA phono jacks about the middle of the chassis, between the power tubes and the back of the chassis, RIGHT behind one of the power tubes that they plug into. Mike.
