I was able to buy a beat-up Silverface Twin Reverb. It seems to be a '74 from transformer code and from the fact that it has a master volume. While it plays pretty well (after putting some speakers in her), it needed new filter caps and electrolytics. Since I was going to be pretty deep into it already, I decided to remove the master volume, replace it with a reverb dwell, and change the rest back to blackface specs, the AB763 circuit.
To keep my bass a bit looser, I installed 100uF filter caps instead of the 70uF in the AB763. For the Bias cap I increased its value to 50uF/50V because of the increased power on wall outlets. Finally, I kept the .01uF Phase Inverter coupling capacitor so that the amp wouldn't be too bright.
