You can just buy a replacement tank and it will cost less than the
repair
bill.
Try Ebay. Search for "reverb tank". I'm pretty sure the ones Mesa uses
are made
by accutronic. Also used in Fenders. You can probably find one for less
than $50
including shipping.

I'll check around, thanks! I am not a big Ebay fan, but I'll check it out.

I was going to say that there's not much to go wrong with a "tank"
itself. about the only thing that can go bad is if coils break which
is highly improbable.

Even so, and if that be the case, Richard. You could probably fix it
yourself.

Sounds more electronic to me...

I spent a couple of hours on it. It's the transformers. (coils).
Apparently, it's a common failure, but the problem is locating the
replacements. I was quoted about 50-70 bucks to fix it at the guitar joint.
That's not bad.
