No way to tell EXACTLY what's wrong without a good look around. My vote is for a bad solder joint in the phase inverter, or a bad phase inverter tube. I would take the amp to a qualified technician ...

Hamilton, to answer your questions - the brown Bandmaster, Pro, Concert, Super, and Twin have the "harmonic" vibrato, that is to say the 3-tube vibrato circuit. The Vibroverb has the simpler output t ...

I'd have to check with some of my "elders" but AFAIK the "tone ring" is a sort of adaptor to let you use different speakers in the same cabinet. For example, you would use a tone ring to put a 12" sp ...

The "bowl of Jell-O" may not be that far-fetched... There are older reverb units (not so many here, but more in the UK I think) that used a water tank and a set of piezo transducers for reverb. Prob ...
