Unfortunately most are "non-Fender" values and voltages.
I'll send you a pm.

Found the green wire from the reverb transformer was grounded under the screw that holds the tranny in place, it bit right through the plastic jacket. Fixed that problem and same thing, just buzz but if I tap on the pan I can hear the tank crash faintly in the speaker. Did I fry the reverb tranny?

That is easy to measure with an ohm meter. :D

Got reverb working but has a buzz that gets louder that higher the reverb knob goes, if I unplug the send cable buzz still there, if I unplug the return cable buzz is gone. Any thoughts?

Thanks to everyone the reverb buzz problem is solved, had the reverb tank in backwards now the amp is complete, quite as can be, super tone and lush reverb. Trem is also to die for, so a big thanks to all of the amp guru's that helped me solve several problems.

Pulled the Celestion Blue in my new BFPR build and swapped it for a Eminence "Swamp Thang" (brand new) I had gotten for a D style build but didn't use. I actually like it better.
