Default matching reverb transformer to reverb tank?

I'm trying to build a stand alone reverb unit like the first Fender
from spare parts. I used the Fender circuit with the standard Fender
reverb transformer but the only tank I have is a Folded Line from an
old organ which says: "made in Milton, Wis. by beautiful girls in
controlled atmosphere conditions". It has low, distorted output with
some hum. Everything looks good going into the tank which seems
mechanically ok. Any ideas?


You need an Accutronics 4AB3C1B, or a 9AB3C1B if you'd like things a bit
more lush.

Give the "Folded Line" tank a miss - it's a piece of ****.
