So, am I the only Accutronics tank fixer out there ?


I fix them. The stranded wires break or get cut by the Chinese strain
relief tabs.


** The vast majority of Accutronics reverb units have this written on
them:

" ACCUTRONICS
CARY IL.
MADE IN USA "

Very recent ones are branded:

" Accutronics & Belton Seoul Korea "

I've never had an open coil proper.



** I don't think you have seen many Accutronics ones then.


I see them a lot. I fix amps for gamblin' money. Change "Chinese" to
"Asian".



** The problem you mention occurs with USA made units, but only when they
are quite old and the feed PVC wire coating gets brittle.
