reverb tank

[gary sanders]

I have an accutronics reverb tank from an amp that had an op amp driven reverb circuit.There is no number on it but just a pattend number.Can this tank handle voltage and impedance of a tube driven circuit?

First thing you can do is to look for the schematic of the "donor" amp, then you can investigate about Tank data

Hi Gary,
You have to measure DC resistance of input and output, after that you can find exact data(impedance) for your tank at accutronics web site.Handling high voltages isn't problem,tank is isolated from the rest of the high voltage circuit by transformer or capacitor.Input impedance will determine what type of circuit you should use, transformer or capacitor driven reverb.Cheers

Cool.im on it.hope it works!

edit

found the data,brb with specs

[gary sanders]

OK this sounds funny,but its nothing close to a spec on Accutronics site:

output 212 ohms
input 25ohms



Heres my #s on the tank:

On the end: 23572-0

Contact Accutronics. They will help you.

Was just browsing through the application pages on their site and found by the coil bobbin colors that my input impedance is 150-190ohms and output is 2250-2575 ohms

It should be a type 9 or 4 since it has 6 springs

I'm pretty sure the type 4 only has 4 springs, and the type 9 has 6 springs. Both type 4 and type 9 are about 16.75 inches long.
Shorter (about 9 inches) with 6 springs would be a type 8
