These amps always have a certain level of noise / gain hiss to them at around 2khz.
Does the volume control in either channel make a difference in the level of hiss being heard?

In terms of the reverb hum that is most likely due to the pan having been taken out of the amp and reinstalled the wrong way .
The end of the tank with the connection marked output can not be the end closest to the power transformer which is on the right side when viewing the open chassis from the front of the amp.
Stevem, is this a reply to my question?. if so, the volume control doesn't make a difference to the power hiss you hear, only if you turn them to max it increases a bit.
As for the reverb, I changed one RCA chord because it failed the ohm test on the shield side. The tank is in the right way with the output plug farthest away from the transformer. Actually it wont fit the other way, the rca outputs would hit the back of the amp making it impossible to install. Still think it's a ground issue though. When you turn up the reverb knob, you hear a loud hum, and the volume decreases. The volume also decreases a bit when you turn on the intensity knob.
