About 10 years ago, when my guitar buddies and I used those early/mid 70's silver faced Fender tube amps, and the vibrato or reverb went out, we alway had good luck with the old "hit-the-top-of-the-amp-really-hard-with-your-fist-a-few-times" technique. :-)
Of course, you can't pick a good-condition early/mid 70's Twin, Super etc. for $400 these days. Those Fenders were a great deal, especially if you could convert the guts to black face as they sounded amazing and were plenty loud enough to play w/ a drummer. Anyway, now that a lot of these amps are fetching "vintage" prices, its probably best to avoid this highly technical method of repair. :-)
Good luck and enjoy the amp. Those TR's are terrific!
