My reverb tank does not work in my RD50. I am curious in replacing it, does anyone know what reverb tank is in the amp head and what's a great tank to put into the head? I just bought it this week.
if you look in the schematic, it tells you what the reverb tank is. It's type 8BB2A1B . You can either get a replacement Accutronics part or find the MOD equivalent which is a bit more expensive but also a bit higher build quality (in my opinion).
If you take the tank out of the bag and remove the cardboard cover you may be able to repair the tank - quite often the small wires connecting the transducers to the rca sockets break off and in some cases they can be soldered back on.
It may not be dead
Hello,

It's worth a look-see anyway.

I'm with LMV on this one....
I'm with LMV on this one.... check the tank. I've had to re-solder those little wires in both of my Musicman amps.
