The output side of the tank should be on the side of the amp that is away from the power transformer, is that the way it is?
The loud buzz that you get when you touch the tip of the output cable is normal and will take place if the reverb control is turned up, as it's the same thing as touching the end of your guitar cable with the channel volume turned up.
If you short out the end of that cable with a clip lead or something to make a good connection then if the amp is ok then turning up the reverb control will add no hum!
