So my reverb wasn't working and now my amp is away for 4 weeks on repairs because it needs a new reverb tank.. I have an RV50 head. How much am I looking at for this replacement?
I also got him to retube/rebias the amp because I have lots of shows coming up and I don't want to be messing around later.

There are two options - the tube powering the reverb gone bad, which will cost no more than the retube job you already asked for, or there is something wrong with the tank/the circuitry/... and you'll pay for the repair.
Those reverb tanks aren't that expensive (about 40 euro/50 dollar), but things can add up .

Not really. There are two very fine wires inside these tanks which are quite easily broken. (One not very heavy knock can often do it.) While it is often possible to repair the break it can sometimes be a real pain in the neck to do:Orphin wrote:I'm thinking, do you know that the problem is the tank, 'cause that is the most unlikely problem when the reverb is dead?
