Belton springline reverb
Guitar pickup type, not piezo
Owner never realised his reverb was broken as 2 of the 3 springs remained connected. So I will leave as is but with the loose one removed. So I didn't take it apart to replace. Anyone familiar with the anchor points, I'm just curious? They look like small soft iron rods somehow soldered to plastic surrounds - so I left alone. It was the 2mm or so diameter iron that had snapped about where it passes through the laminated iron surround of the pickup. -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |

They usually consist of small tubular magnets glued onto the wire which is soldered into the end of the brass tube. If you can get the magnets off the wire, you might be able to replace it with some very thin piano wire, but reverb tanks are so cheap, it`s not usually worth trying to repair one. Ron(UK) |

Ron(UK) I assume the yellow plastic tube (part of the whole plastic mount with the other two plastic tubes) is covering a hidden brass tube that is actually carrying the soldered end-stop. Seeing how frail the ferrite/magnetic? rod is I'll leave well alone unless absolutely necessary. -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |
