Reverb replacement Supro 1650 TRA

Post by Markusv »

Hi Folks!

I have a Supro 1650 TRA on the bench and the reverb tank is done
It is a short tank made by Gibbs and has no markings on it that I can see
Anyone have insight into the appropriate replacement?

Thanks,
Markus V

You may have to do some measuring of resistance or impedance to figure out a replacement unit.

Under the foam in the inside of the tank should be a sticker with information for Gibb/Hammond.

Type 1 and 9 are the short tanks.

Accutronics equivalent is most probably a Type 4A pan

Pete I was thinking that at first but is the type 4 going to be a short pan as the OP stated his is a short pan?

Types 1 and 8 are the short tanks.
Type 1 has 2 springs and type 8 has 3 springs.

In a general sense any tank with proper input and output impedance can be used as replacement if the original tank can't be repaired.

I want the amp to remain fairly close to spec though- the owner insists.

Personally I would have gone with a long tank
