I found the tank, thank you.

Questions; When you say "To work with Kustom amps the output jack on the tank needs to get grounded to the tank to shield it properly."...please elaborate...there's a grounding wire on this old tank soldered to the tank case, and connected to a screw on one of those cross braces...is that what you mean?

The old 2-spring tank was missing a spring - would that cause it to quit? The RCA input/output jacks on the board do not appear to be labeled, but the patch cables are too short to cross...can I assume the closest jack connects to the closest jack on the tank?

The output jack is already at the opposite end of the chassis from the power transformer...

Is it possible to get a replacement long spring, or better to replace the tank? The tiny clip/hangers for the missing spring appear to be intact...

The old tank was mounted open side up, and the replacement tank says in the description that it's mounted open side down...does that matter?

The fuse is soldered in...what is the rating of the fuse so I can have a couple spares?...3A slo blow?

and finally, the new power cable's got Brown, Blue and Green/Yellow, not Black and White like the old existing cable...is Brown Black, and Blue White when I'm replacing the old 2-wire? I'll use the nut that the Death Cap is screwed down with as my ground after I clip it out...

thanks again for your patience with my dummy questions! I'd like to be able to share some images to you can see the chassis inside, but how can I add images here?
