Does anyone know if it makes more sense to fix the reverb tank on my nashville 400 or buy a new one? One of the three springs popped off on both ends(the connection, not just the spring) and I'm getting no verb as a result. Does that even make sense? Should I still get something with two left? Could it be something else is also broken? Would you just re-solder it on both ends? Help would be much appreciated. Thanks

You should still get some reverb with only two springs. If you're not, just replace the entire assembly. If you want to get more into it, take an ohm meter and measure the resistance on each of the little transfomers. You can do this by measuring at the input and output rca jacks. If one of them is open, no reading, its bad.
