Cool, I never really liked the Polytone reverb anyway.

A used TC Electronics M300 will do what you want and more, and you should be able to find one for $80 or so. Excellent quality.

Thanks Bobby,
I was thinking about a digital reverb and that price is what I was looking at and I want a delay with it. I'm not even close to being a professional musician, or ever will be, or I would be using a rack mounted effects processor.
But I guess I should take this in and see if I can repair it. On this amp it is very difficult to get to. It might be just a spring that is not correctly in place but you have to take the whole amp apart to get to it and then it wrapped up in all this foam insulation of some kind. I don't think I'm qualified to do it my self but I will inquire about that. Thanks a lot.

Hi John,
Is there any good small external reverb unit that you guys would
suggest to use with this amp?
There are some good ones out there, but they are not cheap. On EBay, the
Peavy (now discontinued) Reverb/Tremolo comes up from time to time for
around $300 (it was originally around $800 new), but I've heard mixed
reviews. Most everything else out there is rack-mounted, or fair at
best. If you can live without a spring, there are plenty of used digital
reverbs out there for a song. For example, the Yamaha REX-50
multi-effects processor has a pretty good digital reverb sound, and it's
got other effects also, most notably the harmonizer (not diatonic,
though). Mike Stern still uses his, if you want to hear it. They go for
under $100 on EBay.
Anyway, it doesn't sound to me that your reverb is "shot". It's probably
Op-Amp driven, and is probably a repair that won't put you in the
poor-house (unless you didn't like its sound in the first place). I
would check that avenue first, if I were in your shoes.
hope this helps,
Bobby
