What would it take to add a spring reverb tank to the K100-1 amp head? I have a couple of spring reverb tanks long spring and short spring and I want to add spring reverb to the amp. I'm already going to add a tube preamp to it which I know how to do but I'm lost on adding a reverb tank.

I'm already adding a tube preamp so what would need to be done? I'm handy on working on amps the tube preamp I'm doing a simple way so there has to be a simple way to add a reverb tank. Such as just wring the input to the input jack and output from the tank to the input side of the amp board adding a pot to control the reverb level. Give me it straight what do I have to do?

I will cut some of the back to make ventilation for the tubes. I'm waiting to start my youtube channel to do these mods so I can do a video on them. Its simple the way I'm doing the mods and I think I have everything figured out on both the tube preamp and reverb much easier than everyone's talking. I will give an update once I do them and point to the video for the how. I'm not sure my way will work but I'll give it a try.
Which tank do yaw think I should use I have a med spring tank out of a Kustom KP80 pa head and a Accutronics long spring tank out of a Hammond Concorde organ. I'm thinking the med spring because I don't use much reverb but the long spring might have more depth. Basically I'm using an old 10 watt tube amp to make the preamp and the tank after the preamp. I will not give out how until I do the video but it should work fine the way I'm doing it.

The amp is in almost mint condition except for a tear in the Naugahyde on the bottom of the speaker cab. Now for a question on amps did Kustom make the 50 watt head in a all tube config with reverb? As for not wanting to use reverb from a pedal or my v-amp that I use for my distortion sometimes you want the real deal. As far as cutting on a vintage amp this is a ss amp from the late 60s its not like its a plexi. These amps are not worth much and never will be. So if you don't want to help that's your decision but its my amp I paid for it so I'll do the mods to get the sound I'm looking for. I might not have to cut because this is a 10 watt amp I'm using so I don't think it puts off too much heat and the way I plan on doing it it can easily be put back stock if I don't cut.
So for anyone else who's willing to help it would do less to the amp if I put the reverb on the tube amp so can anyone tell me where to start. Like I said it has trem that I won't use so can I use this circuit for the reverb?
