Thanks Chicagobill.
I don't know if the hiss could be thanks to the reverb - since replacing the tank, it works as expected, and the tank is currently situated outside of the cabinet. However, without trying a footswitch to turn off the reverb return, I can't rule that circuit out yet.

I have access to a capacitance meter at work, so will lift a few legs and see if any caps in the later sections of the amp are obviously bad. (I've heard lots of mixed feelings about how well meters work, due to the unrealistic low voltage).

Are there any transistors in particular to start looking at?

I'm looking forward to posting some pictures of it when I have a high enough post count to add links.
